Hetty Green, AKA The Witch of Wall Street, is the stingyest woman in the world according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Her net worth was estimated at more than $5.4 billion in 2024’s dollars.
Even though she was extremely rich, she married a millionaire. She lived on leftover cakes and broken biscuits from a nearby bakery.
Hetty caused her own son to have his leg amputated, as a result from spending time looking for a free clinic instead of paying a hospital bill.
She dìed in 1916 of a stroke at the age of 81 while arguing with her maid over a pay raise.
