ABD’li para babası Rockefeller öldü

Standard Oil heir, banking 2004-08 Giving* $770 million This year, Rockefeller gave $100 million to Harvard, his alma-mater, to fund study abroad and arts programs. He also pledged $25 million to the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, a center devoted to sustainable agriculture and food education, that sits on farmland his family has owned for close to a century in Pocantico Hills, N.Y. To mark his 90th birthday in 2005, Rockefeller pledged $100 million apiece to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Rockefeller University, both family legacies. His generosity has funded bridge-building initiatives with foreign countries and conservation projects within America's national parks and the Alaskan wilderness. His grandfather, John D. Rockefeller Sr. was the founder of Standard Oil and became a pillar of philanthropic giving, helping to transform New York in the early 20th century.
