Accepted answer
- St. Sabina was a rich Roman martyr whose house on the Aventine Hill was donated to the Church.
- St. Paula was noble Roman widow who funded St. Jerome's translation of the Vulgate.
- Ven. Pauline Jaricot (and probably some others mentioned in Neill, They Lived the Faith: Great Lay Leaders of Modern Times) was left a rich inheritance.

St. Marie-Azélie Guérin died a well-off business woman:
Louis was a watchmaker and Zelie a lace-maker who employed 15 women or more at a time, allowing them to work from their homes. Zelie’s lace-making business became so successful that Louis sold his watchmaking business, helping Zelie manage her business. The revenue from their business allowed Louis to retire and raise their daughters after Zelie died of breast cancer when St. Therese was only four years old.
