For those interested, here's the link to the Picture the Recipe channel mentioned in the video ruclips.net/channel/UCEBtDzuikFw24LPsgGyW1AQ As stated, this is not a sponsorship or anything, just a great new channel run by a friend of ours who is insanely good at teaching/showing how to make really awesome food easily that when you make it ends up looking and tasting like it was made by a pro. :-)
She sounded reasonable and very protective of her own children. She didn't enforce her lifestyle onto her children, nor let them get entitled and spoiled. Worst that she did was to groom her son into the business world, which I don't think is too bad of a thing. Not allowing him to spend money before he can work for it is also a smart thing to do. But of course this is speculation based on the video, and we will never know for sure.
7:38 "the only two things she cares about: her money and her children" in that order. Her poor son might have been able to keep his leg if she paid for a good doctor initially
I work at Round Hill and I can 10000% say her mansion is HAAAUNTED!! The whole landscape crew dreads the mansion on rainy days or gettin late night calls to shut off alarms in the basement.

Bravo! I didn't even mind the breakneck delivery because you articulate so well. I learned more about Hetty from you than anyone other source. Thanks for revealing her three dimensions.
The first time I ever heard of Hetty was from the GBWR in the 1970's. I appreciate the amount of research and the balance reporting of her and her family's life.
I will never understand the point in having vast amounts of money if you refuse to spend it. Money only has value in as much as it can be used to acquire things you want, to make your life more enjoyable. Money for money's sake seems so very empty to me.
For her and some like her, I imagine it was something of a game that she enjoyed playing more than she enjoyed possessions. So saving every dime possible to invest rather than spend it on slightly more tangible possessions was seemingly preferable to her.
Haerdalas Money for just buying fancy things doesn't seem too interesting either. Warren Buffett views money-making as a game or competition. He truly enjoys doing what he does.
money for the sake of money makes the rich richer. Money for the sake of spending as per hatty's son made him poorer over time. Note the drop in actual value of his wealth over his lifetime. However, I do agree with you. I prefer things to just money... haha
That's essentially what a wife is..you sign a contract to pay her to live with you and to pay her should she divorce you. If she loves you, she doesn't need a legal document to show it..
This is great and informative but I do take exception to 'women were expected to stay at home'. They were basically forced, it was more than an expectation and not their fault that a lot of women did stay at home.
Simon,you missed two other eccentric anecdotes about Hetty's frugality. She made the NYC public library reading room be her "office" she went to each day.She used the radiators there to heat the instant oatmeal she ate for brunch,so as to avoid utility expenses at her residence. She haggled with the dry cleaners about the cost of cleaning her outfit,insisting they only clean the lower part of her dress,which may have come into contact with the street. Apocryphal or not,it's funny.
i envision her garments being so stiff after of years of day to day encrustments of living in the squalid residencies that she maintained that she simply leaned them up against the wall at night before sleeping and they maintained their form till the next day without so much as a fracture across the the weave of the fabric
I think it is so great that you give plugs to other channels just because... I don’t subscribe to many channels but the content on this channel is great and I respect you giving other channels plugs.
And having a good amount of money to start with, and being part of a family that could afford to give her the best education possible Kind of important points to consider as well
@alcalasari-- right on point, she came from wealth not poverty that is key, many families that grow up poor dont have extra money to invest, they live paycheck to paycheck, bottim line.
I am from a town in England called Atherstone. Today is Shrove Tuesday so we all got together for "the ball game". It's a tradition we've had for hundreds of years and everyone I know finds it either horrifically violent or historically amazing. Maybe you could do a video on this? It gets occasional national coverage here in England.
TheGuardDuck when the ball lands it's fought over then kicked again. During the last half an hour the ball stays on the ground and the competitors fight over it jumping on eachother, punching, kicking and throwing eachother around whilst hundreds of people watch.
And the working class props them up and earns them money. And then we get told we're a bunch of lazy, jealous ingrates for not loving our masters for giving us 0.000000000000000000000000001% of their daily income over a whole year.
The rich are rich for a reason. They don't work hard, they work smart; they invest in anything that'll make them money, they'll lie on anything that won't immediately land them in prison (sometimes they lie then too), and they find ways to live inbetween the law. Yes, inheriting all that money has made it easier for her, but she worked to keep it, not in the way we do, but in the way the rich do. She was taught in the way of business at a young age, what'd you expect her to do?
oooh! I wonder if she was part of the inspiration behind Mrs Brown in O. Henry's "Enchanted Profile" short story! Ridiculously rich miser woman, name is a color, loosens the purse strings for the daughter's coming out (altho in the story it was a young lady not related to her, but that's plays into O. Henry trademark twist in the end!)
I loved this video, good stuff as usual. It was amazing & really interesting my good sir! You should really consider making a "Business/Financial Moguls History" Section
I worked for my father, a successful businessman. He was an alpha male. His natural instincts were to control people. At age 14, I started working like a man. My father didn't pay me a salary. I would have to ask for spending money. I had no more than $20 at a time in the 1970's. I was too insecure to leave. Living with very little money as an adult for years affects how you think about money. At age 26, I finally got a job. It paid little. At age 36, I finally got a job that paid a middle class salary. I am 68 now. I conduct my life like I did when I had nothing. I feel guilty when I spend money on something discretionary. I tend to make myself miserable but I can't help it. For the obvious reason, I never got married.
Me: " interesting, I wonder how she became wealthy and what I can learn from her shrewd business sense" You: "she started with 75-100 million dollars".
Can you do a video on whether alcohol has any medicinal value or is it just there for for the patient? Going back before the times of prohibition recipes for colds and coughs often if not always included alcohol of some type. Even today.
"How dare you charge more for valuable railways? Do you know who I am? I'm gonna have your son arrested for no part-whoa, I didn't know you had a gun. Please don't shoot, let's not get crazy here." Yeah...she was basically the antithesis of ladylike. No wonder people at the time thought so little of her.
J Girl No. She shouldnt have been such a miser. Then she probably would not have been in that situation. But in that situation, she made the smart choice.
All I would need to do is..... Keep 39% and invest 61% of my earn income in the Market, retirement pensions and checking account Eat oatmeal with raisins...for breakfast, lunch and Dinner..... For the weekends....I would still have Oatmeal and raisins...BUT would eat Ramen Noodles with Hot sauce for lunch and Dinner.
Civil war bonds were actually kinda risky. The North might have won, but for the first two years the South stomped all over the North. It wasn't until supplies got low that the South had real problems. Which happened because the North owned almost all the ocean going ships that had weapons.
Knowledge is power ppl I say it ALL the time! You’ll learn more at home of what’s really important that you ever will in schools and going into debt! No excuse today to not be self taught. Enter the world with this knowledge you will do fine!
As we mention in our How It's Made video from back in August, approximately 24-ish hours total. Though this can vary quite a bit, though probably not ever less than 15 hours-ish and not more than 50-60-ish hours (with a few exceptions, like the can shaking video that took massively longer). Depends on the topic.
When are they coming out with a movie or a documentary on hetty, interesting story where people can learn, the story does not stink, its a life lesson that could be taught here to not squander wealth and make sensible financial choices, hetty did try to help the poor and left money to charities. but ofcourse good health & hygiene is a must! for some reason hetty did not see it that way.
VERY INTERESTING''==THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL VERSIONS OF HER LIFE?=SHE WAS MY FATHER'S GREAT AUNT==I AM THE LAST 'GREEN' ON MY FATHER'S LINAGE= I AM ''ELIAS'' RICHARD' ''GREEN AGE 84 NOW==MY FATHER IS ELIAS SUNDERLAND GREEN==
Ive read she helped 30 poor families a shrewd business woman, probably got a tax write off, she didnt pay taxes if she could totally avoid it. Wow, thats saavy business thinking but unfair to the working poor. She went without nice things and left it to her children, she made a point that you look out for your childrens future. Ive read hetti left money to several charities that was most likely a tax write off as well. Once again a very smart individual maybe stinky but very business saavy.
Obscenely wealthy? Check Smarter than the Smarties? Check Sharper than the Sharpies? She was ready to murder the shit out of somebody with no qualms that's a huge check Lived to an impressive age? Check Started with only a tiny sum of money? ...Eh, 4/5 is good enough
huffing fluorine was popular at one time (that being the first time it was attempted) until it was discovered that the lungs did not like it as much as they thought it would be...
And? Simply a view of the world, especially more popular in the upper class. Her take on it is extreme, but you can't blame a person for not being charitable.
So why is it that this woman was considered successful ? As far as overall life & living in a social environment goes she was quite a failure. And What is the point of having the green stuff if one doesn't want to trade it for things like ohh I dunno...a bathtub maybe ?
She amassed a fortune to support her children and allow them to live comfortably. Failing at being a social being doesn't cancel your success of being one of the wealthiest women on earth. If you have to prove your fortune by spending it you won't have a fortune to spend
Because if a man did what she does it would be considered as successful. What's more in her era a woman has much less rights than a man and she had to go through alot more to achieve what she achieved.

Thanks folks, that channel is relevant to my interests 👌
Does anyone else feel that this woman's story would make an amazing HBO show?
Fuck yes!! I say they need to get Kathy Bates to play her.
Yes absolutely!
@@cammymc1982 I'd rather they hire an unknown actress to play her so I don't focus on Kathy being in the role
Why HBO?
@@GranMastaDee I would guess most other channels would not invest into telling the story of an old woman famous for not bathing. Quite unsposorable.
She seems like she'd be a nightmare to have as a mother. But an absolute dream as a broker
She sounded reasonable and very protective of her own children. She didn't enforce her lifestyle onto her children, nor let them get entitled and spoiled. Worst that she did was to groom her son into the business world, which I don't think is too bad of a thing. Not allowing him to spend money before he can work for it is also a smart thing to do.

She was literally stinking rich.
7:38 "the only two things she cares about: her money and her children" in that order. Her poor son might have been able to keep his leg if she paid for a good doctor initially
I think she figured he had two he could still hop around.!😮😥😁
What a sad story. Yes, money should be made, but you also need to spend it on important things. (Such as hygiene or health.)
How interesting! This could be a movie.

Bravo! I didn't even mind the breakneck delivery because you articulate so well. I learned more about Hetty from you than anyone other source. Thanks for revealing her three dimensions.
I’ve never heard this story but looking into ancestry I’m related to Hetty, that’s crazy
There is an old saying.... You can't take it with you, because a shroud has no pockets.

Simon,you missed two other eccentric anecdotes about Hetty's frugality.

The positive things to be learned from this video are how hard work, intense focus, and great intelligence prevails over adversity.
And having a good amount of money to start with, and being part of a family that could afford to give her the best education possible
Kind of important points to consider as well
@alcalasari-- right on point, she came from wealth not poverty that is key, many families that grow up poor dont have extra money to invest, they live paycheck to paycheck, bottim line.
Calling her a witch was too kind.
If she were a man, the nickname would have been the boss of Wall Street or something.
Robert Pruitt Or the Wolf or something.
Yeesh.
With her magic she helped to save the fragile then US economy.

I'm from Staffordshire and I've never heard of 'the ball game'. Is it a specifically regional thing? Like the Gloucester cheese rolling?!
How is "the ball game" violent? Does it involve busting of "balls"? Or is it code for "Thunderdome"?

Loved the video. The good and the bad (depending on viewer's values and moral standpoints) about an interesting person who made history. Great pick!
How fascinating to have learned so much about a woman of whom I had never heard. Good show!! Thank you.
"Hetty Green, Queen of Supply-Side Bonhomie Bone- Drab, if you know what I mean..." Calamity Song, The Decemberists,
It’s crazy there isn’t a movie about her
I come looking for a video about Hetty Green, and Simon is top of the list. One wonders when this channel is going to be renamed WhistlerTube. 😁
Me: " interesting, I wonder how she became wealthy and what I can learn from her shrewd business sense"
You: "she started with 75-100 million dollars".
Can you do a video on whether alcohol has any medicinal value or is it just there for for the patient? Going back before the times of prohibition recipes for colds and coughs often if not always included alcohol of some type. Even today.
Amalgamous Proxy alcohol is antiseptic, which is why a lot of those contain, surprise surprise, alcohol.
Seems hetty didnt alow herself any confort but was more worried about her loved ones
"How dare you charge more for valuable railways? Do you know who I am? I'm gonna have your son arrested for no part-whoa, I didn't know you had a gun. Please don't shoot, let's not get crazy here."
Yeah...she was basically the antithesis of ladylike. No wonder people at the time thought so little of her.
So she should have let her son be threatened?
J Girl
No. She shouldnt have been such a miser. Then she probably would not have been in that situation. But in that situation, she made the smart choice.
I didn't say I thought she was wrong. I said I saw why people from the 19th century would think she was wrong. There's a difference.
Timothy McLean
Thought little of her? Seems the cowardly shitbags were terrified of her.
I mean, it's not like those are mutually exclusive...
Well she and her family seem like cold hearted people it made them rich but damn
This video was a rollercoaster from start to finish lol
Enjoyed it though
By which equation do you calculate inflation? I mean, what is the conversion rate?
0:41 So, Hetty's great grandfather played with Bob Marley's group?
Can you do a video on Daniel Dancer? He was supposedly a miser like ol Hetty here
Casual 30k dollar wardrobe. I can’t imagine what I’d buy if I could buy 30,000 dollars worth of clothes! Ballin.
30k of the day, at that. So MUCH more after inflation
...Is she the human woman version of Scrooge McDuck?
Sure is a lot to digest there... all sorts of strange stuff. It would be good to know her motivations too..
Sounds like an interesting character for a movie . . .
Living with prostitutes? That'll protect you from the golddiggers!
Prostitutes get paid for a service, golddiggers expect you to give them money just for pretending to like you
then getting a new teenage prostitu- i mean ''pivate secretary'' every weekend
All I would need to do is.....
Keep 39% and invest 61% of my earn income in the Market, retirement pensions and checking account
Eat oatmeal with raisins...for breakfast, lunch and Dinner.....
For the weekends....I would still have Oatmeal and raisins...BUT would eat Ramen Noodles with Hot sauce for lunch and Dinner.
Civil war bonds were actually kinda risky.
The North might have won, but for the first two years the South stomped all over the North.
It wasn't until supplies got low that the South had real problems. Which happened because the North owned almost all the ocean going ships that had weapons.
Yeah but the Union flexed the Union Navy like an anaconda and strangled the Rebels economy and Grant laid a beatdown over Lee in the battlefield.
But how do they connect to Walpole?🤔
You totally said be-queef-ing
I'd probably call her a robber baroness.

Hetty Green was a woman ahead of her time. I find to be very interesting in the Gilded Age.
That’s definitely Alan Alda dressed as a widow
Solid script, Daven.
Thanks :-)
My question is, why did she wanted the money? If she didn't even used any for personal higiene
VERY INTERESTING''==THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL VERSIONS OF HER LIFE?=SHE WAS MY FATHER'S GREAT AUNT==I AM THE LAST 'GREEN' ON MY FATHER'S LINAGE= I AM ''ELIAS'' RICHARD' ''GREEN AGE 84 NOW==MY FATHER IS ELIAS SUNDERLAND GREEN==
I'm related to her on the maternal side. No....I didn't inherit any $$$, lol.
That son's "love life" is fucking creepy
OMG Those children left all the money :(
i absolutely love the witch of wall street. a great story!
Ive read she helped 30 poor families a shrewd business woman, probably got a tax write off, she didnt pay taxes if she could totally avoid it. Wow, thats saavy business thinking but unfair to the working poor.

so. she's basically Scrooge McDuck?
Obscenely wealthy? Check
Smarter than the Smarties? Check
Sharper than the Sharpies? She was ready to murder the shit out of somebody with no qualms that's a huge check
Lived to an impressive age? Check
Started with only a tiny sum of money?
...Eh, 4/5 is good enough
Dang ..... maybe her son could have kept his leg if she had taken him to the proper hospital in the first place ... that part is so sad.
Ms. Scrooge Mc Duck
this guy go it wrong...…………………...he told her don't owe anybody anything
Must we have a commercial in the middle of the video?
Fluoride is yummy.

Who coined the phrase " coined the phrase."
Your conversions figures seem to be improperly calculated.
Those are good kids
I don't see what's was wrong with her outside of the not bathing and changing clothes.
''Never give anyone anything, even kindness.''
Wow, I wonder what could be wrong with her.
Adolphin Shitposter Probably an exaggeration.
And? Simply a view of the world, especially more popular in the upper class.
Her take on it is extreme, but you can't blame a person for not being charitable.
What a woman!
Jordan Belfort is my idol
So why is it that this woman was considered successful ? As far as overall life & living in a social environment goes she was quite a failure.
And What is the point of having the green stuff if one doesn't want to trade it for things like ohh I dunno...a bathtub maybe ?
She amassed a fortune to support her children and allow them to live comfortably. Failing at being a social being doesn't cancel your success of being one of the wealthiest women on earth. If you have to prove your fortune by spending it you won't have a fortune to spend
You can’t be rich if you spend it all
Not everyone has your sense of morals where you hold yourself above your wealth.
Because if a man did what she does it would be considered as successful. What's more in her era a woman has much less rights than a man and she had to go through alot more to achieve what she achieved.
+FragBashers
"If you have to prove your fortune by spending it you won't have a fortune to spend"
This looks like a quote a wise old man would say lol
She sounds like a ghastly ghastly person.
10:17 " his live-in prostutute..." AKA; *Wife* .
sweet victory spongebob
Yuck. Think of how many children he scarred.
And the point of making so much money for herself if she wasn't going to use it was? What?....
so she could give it to her kid when she died. most of this are probably just smear and gossip.
The 2 things she cared about - her money & her son.
She wouldn’t have let his leg go gangrene if she cared about him honey🎈
Sounds like she was tighter than a crabs derriere, that is to say 'Water tight' >.=.
