NORRIS AND ROSS MCWHIRTER'S 10 BEST ODDITIES

The Greatest Miser in History. "An estate of $95 million was left by the notorious miser Henrietta (Hetty) Howland Green (nee Robinson) 1835-1916). She had a balance of over $31,400,000 in one bank alone. She was so mean that her son had to have his leg amputate because of the delays in finding a free medical clinic. She herself lived off cold oatmeal because she was too mean to heat it, and died of apoplexy in an argument over the virtues of skimmed milk."
