5 Virgo
The fifth richest sign is Virgo, coming in at an average net worth of $998 million. Virgo businesswoman Doris Fischer, who co-founded The Gap with her late husband back in 1969, represents the sign with a net worth of $2.9 billion.
Virgos are generally quick-witted and sharp, ayon kayCosmopolitan, insisting upon high standards and having an eye for every detail. That can certainly help in business.
3 Libra and Scorpio (tie)
Libra and Scorpio are tied for the third position on the list at $1.2 billion. Representing these two signs are Libra Judy Love, the Oklahoma businesswoman worth $5.2 billion, and Scorpio Thai Lee, the Thai-born Korean-American businesswoman worth $4.1 billion.
Libras are natural thinkers and analyzers, Cosmopolitan says, which can be great for business (but also makes them prone to procrastination). Scorpios, on the other hand, tend to be bold, creative, and determined, per mindbodygreen. Determination is a great way to get to billionaire status.
