The richest woman of the gilded age

[Pekelo]

In the time of Carnegie, J.P. Morgan, Jay Gould and the rest, there was only one woman who could keep up with them, Hetty Green, the daughter of a rich New Bedford whaler. At the time of her death, her estate was valued between 100 and 200 million dollars, (2-4 billion today).

Things to note:

1. It is nice to be born into an already rich family.
2. Timing is everything. Her father soled his whaling business when oil was found in Pennsylvania.
3. Compound interest is king.
4. You can be a miser billionaire.
5. Cash is king, specially when the markets are falling.

You lost me right at "daughter of a rich..."

Since when are cronies and do nothing rich worthy of admiration? Inheriting was not a praiseworthy skill last time I checked. But I guess some poor pikers are even looking up to cartel bosses...even a ball juggling clown deserves more respect than someone who is noted as being rich because of someone else's work.

What I mean is that those folks are not even worthy to be written or read about. Saying because I know you say that you dont disagree. Yet you wasted precious ink and wasted our time on nonsense like this.

Show us guys who made billions themselves and you find hundreds.

Show us guys who made billions selling legal products ethically that really add value to our lives and you find multiple dozens.

Show us guys who made the above but also live an admirable lifestyle with personalities that are worthy of imitation and you end up with 2 dozen.

Show us guys who made the above but also pledge their riches and give back to society and you end up with 3 or 4 guys WORLDWIDE.

This is the true state of affairs of this world and humankind. 99.8% are selfish assholes.

Are you Pro Trumps and Kushners?

Ah... the Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) rears its ugly head (or at least an insatiable fixation on the man). I fear we live in a world where all roads lead to Trump.

Cognitive Dissonance reared it’s head again. Never answer questions like a good Jim Jones follower. I knew your term seemed recycled. Please be original, not irrelevant.

Get over Obama derangement syndrome

How viable will our Constitution be if five Supreme Court justices should decide to void 64 million ballots?

The continuing efforts of a fringe group of conservatives to deny President-elect Barack Obama his victory and to lay the basis for the claim that he is not a legitimate president is embarrassing and destructive. The fact that these efforts are being led by Alan Keyes, an unhinged demagogue on the political fringe who in 2004 lost an Illinois Senate election to Obama by 42 points should be a warning in itself.”

LOL ! The constitution was nullified in the name of something called "The Patriot Act" you now have no rights at all.

Mark that was from Politico. The term “Obama Derangement Syndrome” predated “Trump” and “Biden Derangement Syndrome”.




All I wanted to know is , why is inheriting massive wealth frowned upon or not worship worthy, unless it’s received by the Messiah.

I remember reading about that bitch. World's most miserly miser. She let her son's (nephew?) limb get amputated because she was too cheap to pay for the medical care needed to save it.

Because the Messiah(s) need the donation to build synagogues, churches.

What is the name of the church that got japanese prime minister killed?

I am pro middle class and anti bullshit and anti entitled fucks who have not worked a single day in their lives and only waste what others earned. So, I am certainly opposed to anything Trump or the Kushners represent. But I am not sure how you get from my post to Trump or Kushner. Makes zero sense.

The middle class is bled out and suffering because of elites who take it all and only leave breadcrumbs for the working class. I am an ardent student of history and never read about a single culture or society that lasted while subduing and strangulating its middle class

Are you Pro Trumps and Kushners?
