When asked about her high level of knowledge she credited reading: Even as a kid I used to read all the time. Including at the dinner table.” When she was asked about what she did with her winnings, the sensible Schwartz shared: “I invested most of my money in mutual funds. The most extravagant thing that I did was to buy myself a $300 briefcase back in 1994. I still have it.”
