Edward Howland Robinson "Ned" Green (August 22, 1868 – June 8, 1936), also known as Colonel Green, was an American businessman and the sole son of Hetty Green (the "Witch of Wall Street").
He became a political ally in William Madison McDonald's Republican Party, a leading African-American politician in the late 19th century. Green built a mansion in Round Hill, Massachusetts, after his mother's death in 1916 and his inheritance of half her fortune.
He was known for his stamp and coin collections.
Social life
Green spent lavishly and partied in comparison to his mother. He surrounded himself with attractive young women whose services were well compensated.
Green was interviewed and sketched by Marguerite Martyn of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1911. "I am a stalwart, stalwart, upstanding millionaire, middle-aged," she said. . . "Healthy and Hearty, with the most ingratiating, breezy Western way with him." He told her that he received "thousands of letters" from women wishing to marry him, and that "a secretary had been appointed to handle this class of mail." "Why, it isn't my money they want to marry me for," Green told Martyn: It's alimony."
Hetty was adamantly opposed to marrying and waiting for her longtime companion, Mabel E. Harlow, a former prostitute, long after her death in 1916.
Career
Green was assigned by his mother to manage the Texas Midland Railroad, which she had purchased by foreclosure in 1893. He moved to Terrell, Texas, and turned the failing business into a "model railroad" with the first electrically-lighted coaches in the state. This was just one of many company ventures in which Green won.
Green was also active in state politics. He began a long-term political relationship with William Madison McDonald, the African-American leader of the Black and Tan faction of the Republican Party from Fort Worth, in 1896. Green, a Republican, was made "a Colonel on the staff of a Democratic Governor of Texas" in 1910.
