Heady's Story

Heady's mother died when she was 25 years old. Her father was will the entire estate of her mother. None of it went to heady. Heady was upset about this and wanted to contest the will in court but was concerned that if she'd lost she wouldn't get anything when her father died. Meanwhile, her father sold all of his shares in the family whaling business and moved to New York City. There he joined a new shipping business and then at the end of the Civil War he sold all his shares in that business for $5 million. Okay. So she's 31 years old and she's rich. She's pretty fucking rich.
