In this episode Jennie and Dianne will begin with a visit to the grave of Hetty Green, often called "The Witch of Wall Street". As they tell her story they also share snippets of Charles Dickens's famous Christmas tale, "A Christmas Carol" in order to parallel the real life of Hetty Green and that of the fictional Ebenezer Scrooge. Upon her death in 1916, Hetty Green was known as the "Wizard of Finance" and "The Richest Woman in America". She may have been the richest woman in the world!
