“Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible?” (joke)

A popular Bible joke is:
 
Q: Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible?
A: Pharaoh’s daughter. She went down the the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet (profit).
 
The joke was cited in print in 1893, 1909 and 1947, but became popular on the Internet in 1999.
 
“Who was the wisest financial investor in the Bible?” is a similar joke.
