As Hetty Green fell very young in the finance and money. Born in 1834 in Bedford, Massachusetts, Henrietta Howland Robinson - "hetty", as were dubbed the family - is the only daughter of Edward Mott Robinson and Abby Howland, rich heiress of a large fortune in the whaling. Bad languages claim that Edward Mott married Abby for his money. Money that it was all very well used, being itself an impressive fleet of whalers. Quackers one and other, Henrietta parents live in great austerity which probably explains the miserly financial will demonstrate his life during.

Just as harsh to gain it, raising his money that he is loath to spend, Edward Mott glides slowly into madness, seeing conspiracies everywhere. On his death bed, he persuade his daughter that he was poisoned by individuals wanting to his fortune. Years later, in 1916, at the time of his own death, Hetty Green says the same thing to her children... The disappearance of his father in 1864, is finally it the only heir to a fortune of $ 8 million. A year later, the disappearance of one of his aunts brings him 2 million more. An amount very important but very below his expectations! A nothing whimsical, aunt indeed left it to his doctor, his staff to House employees of the funeral and to distant cousins the bulk of his fortune. Well determined to get their hands on all of the legacy, Henrietta launches then in an endless legal battle, even to produce false documents to defend his "rights". In vain. His claims are rejected. Rancunière, "the Witch of Wall Street" eventually, many years later, having the head of the judge who has dismissed it, mass selling titles of the main company of the city where his case was tried, causing a sharp price fall and throwing panic among the local bourgeoisie.
