5. World’s Biggest Miser
Hetty Green was a very rich woman; in fact she was once the richest woman in the world, mainly because she didn’t use to spend any money on anything. And I do mean anything. Green was mainly interested in business because it was considered as her family business; there are many tales (of various degrees of accuracy) about her stinginess. She never turned on the heat nor used hot water. She wore an old black dress and undergarments that she changed only after they had been worn out. She did not wash her hands and rode an old carriage. She ate mostly pies that cost fifteen cents. One tale claims that she spent a night looking for a lost stamp worth two cents. Hettie’s son Ned broke his leg and had to have it amputated because Hettie delayed treatment while insisting on finding free medical care. The question arises how cheap a person can get when he/she has $7.5 million ($107 million in 2010 adjusted for inflation).

1. Largest (and Probably Only) Airplane Ever Eaten
There are a number of records in which people are seen eating different types of stuff. But the record of the weirdest/random thing ever to eat was made by Michel Lotito (1950-2007), better known as Mosieur Mangetout (Mr Eat Everything). He was basically a normal guy, except he ate things like metal and glass. This person is probably the only person to have this ability. He has conjured many records, but his most famous record was eating a Cessna 150 (aeroplane). The Cessna 150 took roughly two years to be “eaten”, from 1978 to 1980. Doctors found that Mangetout’s stomach lining is twice as thick as a normal stomach lining, which explains why he is able to digest these things. The doctors concluded that his rare condition must have developed when he was still in his mother’s womb; He began eating unusual material as a child around 9 years of age and performed publicly since 1966. It is estimated that between 1959–1997, Lotito had eaten around 1 ton of metal. Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday. He is buried at the Grenoble Cemetery.
