Best Answer

The "Unsinkable Molly Brown" (Margaret Brown) came from a humble family and married very humbly. After her marriage to James Joseph Brown (J.J.), James Joseph struck it rich when J.J.'s engineering background helped in the production of a substantial ore seam at the Little Jonny Mine of his employers, Ibex Mining Company, and he was awarded 12,500 shares of stock and a seat on the board.

So began the rise of the Brown family in 1890s. But in 1909, Molly and J. J. separated but never divorced. The agreement gave Molly a cash settlement and she maintained possession of their house in Denver, CO. She also received $700 a month allowance (equivalent to $18,107 today) to continue her travels and social work.
