Best Answer

Yes, one could safely say that Cleopatra was a very wealthy woman. Even though her father left her with a massive debt to repay, she was able to clear the debt and start accumulating wealth for the country and for herself. Through taxation, wheat profits and especially the papyrus trade, she amassed a fortune. Cleopatra's wealth was the main reason that Marc Antony entered into an alliance with her, as he needed her money to finance his military ventures.
