Many people believe that the window of opportunity for achieving financial success closes as we age, but this simply isn't true. In fact, there are countless examples of people who became millionaires after the age of 50, and among them are some impressive women. Here are just five of the inspiring stories of women who became millionaires after 50:
Joy Mangano - Mangano is best known for inventing the Miracle Mop, which she sold on QVC and ultimately turned into a multi-million dollar empire. She didn't come up with the idea until she was 34, but it wasn't until she was in her 40s and 50s that her products really took off. She's now worth over $50 million.
