Episode: Hetty Green: The Witch of Wall Street with Dr. Felecia Froe
Description: She was mocked by the press, feared by bankers, and labeled "the Witch of Wall Street." Yet Henrietta "Hetty" Green quietly built one of the greatest fortunes of the Gilded Age, becoming a self-made billionaire in today's dollars when women weren't even allowed to vote. Â In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe unpacks Hetty's misunderstood genius: her contrarian investing style, her defiance of gender norms, and her unshakable belief that true wealth is about freedom not appearances. This is more than history; it's a masterclass in courage, focus, and financial sovereignty for every modern woman investor.
