Hetty Green<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u00a0
De son vrai nom Henrietta Howland Green alias Hetty Green, \u00e9tait n\u00e9e le 21 novembre 1834 \u00e0 New Bedford et morte le 3 juillet 1916 \u00e0 New York. Elle fut une femme d’affaires am\u00e9ricaine de la p\u00e9riode Gilded Age. Elle sera plus tard surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab la sorci\u00e8re de Wall Street \u00bb elle fut l’une des rares femmes financi\u00e8res de son temps et sans doute l’une des plus riches du monde. Mais l’histoire retient aussi qu’\u00e9tant la plus riche au monde, Hetty Green \u00e9tait la plus avare au monde.

La richesse Hetty Green est estim\u00e9e \u00e0 plus de 2,3 milliards de dollars. Hetty Greene est n\u00e9e en Am\u00e9rique en 1835. Elle \u00e9tait la fille unique d’un riche homme d’affaires. Elle a h\u00e9rit\u00e9 de son p\u00e8re une fortune estim\u00e9e \u00e0 7,5 millions de dollars. \u00c0 l’\u00e2ge de vingt et un ans, elle a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 New York pour investir son argent \u00e0 Wall Street et a \u00e9t\u00e9 surnomm\u00e9e la m\u00e9chante sorci\u00e8re de Wall Street. La vie lui a avait bien souri. Elle a \u00e9pous\u00e9 un millionnaire comme elle, mais vivait toujours de restes de g\u00e2teaux et de biscuits cass\u00e9s dans les \u00e9piceries et se disputait pour obtenir un os gratuit pour son chien tous les jours !! Hetty Greene \u00e9tait une femme tr\u00e8s malheureuse. Elle cousait des cale\u00e7ons \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 16 ans et ne les changeait ni n’en achetait d’autres jusqu’au jour de sa mort. Selon VAS TV 24, elle ne d\u00e9pensait jamais un centime, on disait donc qu’elle n’utilisait jamais d’eau chaude, qu’elle portait une robe noire qu’elle ne changeait que jusqu’\u00e0 ce qu’elle soit compl\u00e8tement us\u00e9e et qu’elle vivait de manger une tarte qui ne co\u00fbtait que deux centimes.
Hetty a oblig\u00e9 son fils \u00e0 amputer sa jambe parce que lorsqu’il l’a cass\u00e9e, elle a retard\u00e9 le traitement parce qu’elle a insist\u00e9 pour ne pas le faire. Elle n’a pas d\u00e9pens\u00e9 d’argent et a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 chercher des soins m\u00e9dicaux gratuits.
Hetty Greene est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e en 1916 \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 81 ans \u00e0 New York et a \u00e9t\u00e9 inscrite dans le Livre Guinness des records comme \u00ab la personne la plus avare du monde \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n

La cause de sa mort \u00e9tait un accident vasculaire c\u00e9r\u00e9bral d\u00fb \u00e0 une dispute avec sa femme de chambre, car celle-ci demandait une augmentation de son maigre salaire.
Elle est morte et a laiss\u00e9 derri\u00e8re elle une \u00e9norme fortune, et ses enfants n’ont pas h\u00e9rit\u00e9 de son extr\u00eame avarice, mais ils ont plut\u00f4t \u00e9t\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9reux au point que sa fille a construit un h\u00f4pital gratuit avec son argent. Mais d’autres renseignent que Hetty Green aurait suivi le conseil de son g\u00e9niteur.\u00a0 \u00ab Ne donne rien \u00e0 personne, ni m\u00eame de la gentillesse \u00bb, lui pr\u00e9conise son p\u00e8re d\u00e8s sa tendresse enfance. Cette phrase forge en Hetty, d\u00e8s son plus jeune \u00e2ge, une acuit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re hors norme. D\u00e8s six ans, Hetty plonge t\u00eate premi\u00e8re dans le grand bain des finances. Elle ouvre son premier compte en banque seulement deux ans plus tard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
