Do you know who is the most stingy woman in the world? Hetty Green is an American woman known as....


Hetty Green is an American woman known as the stingiest woman in history, according to the Guinness Book of Records. Her fortune is estimated at 2.3 billion dollars. 

She amputated her son's leg because she insisted on seeking free treatment. She did not change her underwear from the age of 16 until her death.  Hetty Green in America in 1835, the only daughter of a wealthy businessman.

She opened her first bank account when she was six years old, after her passion for collecting money appeared and she began reading the economic pages in the daily newspapers. 

She inherited from her father a fortune estimated at $ 7.5 million when she was twenty-one years old, then she moved to New York to invest her money in Wall Street.  

Dubbed the Wicked Witch of Wall Street, she married a multi-millionaire but still lived on leftover cookies and crackers at the grocery store and argued for a free bone for her dog every day.

Hetty Green was a very stingy woman and never spent a penny. It was said that she never used hot water, that she wore a black robe that she only changed when it was completely worn out, and that she lived on a pie that cost only two cents, and Hetty cut off her son's leg because when he broke it she was too late  in her treatment because she insisted that she would not spend any money and kept seeking free medical attention.

Hetty Green died in 1916 at the age of 81 in New York City, and entered the Guinness Book of World Records with the title of the meanest person in the world, and the cause of her death was a stroke because of her quarrel with her maid because the maid asked for an increase for her low salary, she died and left behind a huge fortune, and her children did not inherit her stinginess.

They were so generous that her daughter built a free hospital with her money.
