Hetty Green was a miser during America's Gilded Age of the late 19th century. A multimillionaire at a time when women couldn't even vote, she was subject to slander and ridicule. She dressed the same every day, saved money at every opportunity and earned herself the reputation of being both the Queen of Wall Street and the Witch of Wall Street. Her life story is one of success and tragedy as she strove to become, and succeeded at becoming, the richest woman in America, perhaps even the richest woman in the world. She has since been named the Guinness Book of World Records' Greatest Miser.
