Hetty Green. One of America’s most outrageous misers was the notorious Henrietta (“Hetty”) Green, who had a balance of over $31 million in the bank yet was so cheap that her son had to have his leg amputated because he received no medical treat- ment while she shopped around for a free medical clinic. Hetty, who left an estate of $94 million, was famous for not spending a cent if she didn’t have to. |
