Treasurer
The Chief Hazinedar headed the personnel of the Sultan's treasury.[3] Hazinedars subordinated to the Chief Hazinedar had a title of Hazinedar Kalfa. Kalfa is Turkish language word for apprentice. Hazinedar-Agha was a title of chief eunuch treasurer.[4]
Lord (housemistress) of the sultan's palace and harem
The High Hazinedar or First Hazinedar or Hazinedar Usta was a title of the housemistress of the sultan's palace, the most influential person after the prince. There were other Hazinedars in the Ottoman hierarchy (the Second, Third...) who were subordinated to the First Hazinedar, hence referred to as Usta (English: superintendent).[5] Only the First Hazinedar could approach the Sultan and other nobility, while the second, third and other hazinedars served the First Hazenidar.[6]
