How much money did Coco Chanel make the first year?

Coco Chanel's initial venture in fashion, which began in 1910 with her hat shop in Paris, generated modest income. By 1913, her business was thriving, and she reportedly earned around 100,000 francs that year. However, specific figures for her first year in business are not well-documented, as records from that time are scarce. Her real financial success came later with the launch of her iconic perfume, Chanel No. 5, in 1921.
