About the Program
Biographer Janet Wallach recalls the life of Hetty Green (1834-1916), whose investment of her family inheritance resulted in a net worth of close to $100 million ($2.5 billion today) by the end of her life. Dubbed "The Witch of Wall Street" for her often tough demeanor and frugal lifestyle, Hetty Green made her fortunes going against the popular thinking of other investors. Janet Wallach speaks at Corner Bookshop in New York City.
