The Witch Of Wall Street

Описание: If asked to name someone who became wealthy from buying and selling stocks, Warren Buffett would probably be the first name many would mention. But he wasn't the first to follow that path. Hetty Green was born in 1834, and over the course of the 19th century became one of the wealthiest women to ever live. She created many of the investment strategies Buffett used to build his fortune.



Unfortunately, few people today remember the eccentric genius who was known as the witch of wallstreet.



Hetty was never truly happy with her wealth. When her family members died and left her with a trust fund, Hetty forged a will in an attempt to get everything. It resulted in the first court case (Robinson v. Mandell) to ever use forensic mathematics.



Hetty was also notoriously thrifty. She lived in cheap apartments, wore one single dress, and ate cheap street food. Yet, her fortune was worth the equivalent of billions of dollars today.
