Description: Attention Collectors! Up for auction is a vintage hardcover book from 1930. It is titled Hetty Green - A Woman Who Loved Money. By Boyden Sparkes and Samuel Taylor Moore. Published by Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1930. This is the collectible First Edition! Hetty Green (November 21, 1834 – July 3, 1916), nicknamed the Witch of Wall Street, was an American businesswoman and financier known as "the richest woman in America" during the Gilded Age. She was named by the Guinness Book of World Records the "greatest miser". Despite her wealth, she was a renowned cheapskate, refusing to buy expensive clothes or pay for hot water, and wearing a single dress that was only replaced when it was worn out. She amassed a fortune as a financier at a time when nearly all major financiers were men. After her death, The New York Times wrote, "It was the fact that Mrs. Green was a woman that made her career the subject of endless curiosity, comment and astonishment. Book shows some gentle wear with some sun-fading/spotting to spine. The book remains in overall very good condition. There is a previous owner bookplate of William Slocum Howland which a previous owner says is a descendant of Hetty Green. Great gift idea!
