There are actually quite a few prominent gang lords throughout history that were women. Some of the fiercest. There was a black woman in Harlem in the early 1900s that ran numbers that had extreme power.
Griselda Blanco was the biggest though, she was worth over a billion. I don't think any other woman topped her wealth.
