When you die, your assets are 2.3 billion! (1916)
Although she was the famous daughter of a rich family, she was a pathological salty person her whole life.
I started growing my pants when I was 16, and didn’t buy new ones until I died.
At that time, I made money by investing in the stock market and also married Millionair.
I really didn’t spend a single penny.
He said he didn’t use hot water, ate food thrown away at the supermarket, and only ate pies that cost 2 cents.
It is said that she wore a black dress all her life until it fell out.
There was even an incident where the son’s leg was amputated due to his stubborn shoehorning habit.
My kid broke his leg, but I don’t want to take him to the hospital.
I looked for a free fix, but in the end, the treatment was too late and I had to amputate the leg.
He passed away at the age of 81, and the helper at home needed some salary.
He got so angry while fighting to get a raise that he suffered a stroke.
Fortunately, the children who inherited the assets did not inherit the shoemaker’s personality.
The daughter also built a hospital with her mother’s money.
Hetty Green…the most stingy woman in history, her wealth is estimated at more than $2.3 billion. Hetty Greene was born in America in 1835. She was the only daughter of a wealthy businessman.
She inherited from her father a fortune estimated at $7.5 million. When she was twenty-one years old, she moved to live in New York to invest her money in Wall Street and was called the Wicked Witch of Wall Street.
She married a millionaire like herself, but still lived on leftover cakes and broken biscuits in grocery stores and argued to get a free bone for her dog every day!! Hetty Greene was a very miserable woman. She sewed underpants when she was 16 years old and did not change them or buy others until the day of her death.
She never spent a penny, so it was said that she never used hot water, that she wore a black dress that she did not change until it was completely worn out, and that she lived on eating a pie that cost only two cents.
Hetty caused her son to amputate his leg because when he broke it, she delayed treating it because she insisted not to She spent no money and kept looking for free medical attention.
Hetty Greene died in 1916 at the age of 81 in New York City, and was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “most stingy person in the world.”
The cause of her death was a stroke due to a quarrel with her maid because the maid asked for an increase in her meager salary.
She died and left behind a huge fortune, and her children did not inherit her extreme stinginess, but rather they were generous to the point that her daughter built a free hospital with her money!!
