She was a prostitute that caught the eye of King Leopold II, you know, the Belgian Congo guy. He ended up leaving her a pretty large portion of his blood money.
I think you could also make a strong argument for Zheng Yi Sao, basically seduced a pirate king and took over his fleet and became the most powerful pirate of all time.

Her ability to manipulate the king was so great that the Minister of State, Karl von Abel, was dismissed because he and his entire cabinet had objected to her being granted Bavarian nationality and the title of countess. The students at Munich University were divided in their sympathies, and conflicts arose shortly before the outbreak of the revolutions of 1848, which led the king, at Montez’s insistence, to close the university.
Also, she is the subject of a great song by Volbeat
