The life and times of Hetty the Hoarder, the Witch of Wall Street

If you're in the mood for a fascinating story about inheritances, money and strange people (and who isn't interested in a story like that?) then you must read this article from www.mentalfloss.com about Hetty Green, the so-called Witch of Wall Street. Hetty's extrreme behaviour will no doubt make every reader shake his/her head in disbelief, but over the years I've met a handful of people who remind me a little bit of Hetty. They are people worth millions of dollars who live in a way we'd most likely associate with those who are homeless or at least penniless. Whatever conclusions you reach about Hetty and her children, this is a wonderful read. Click here.
