Posted by Fred G on Sat Jul 5 08:53:03 2014, in response to Richard Mellon Scaife, Influential U.S. Conservative, Dies at 82, posted by DANd124 on Fri Jul 4 14:02:33 2014. Mr. Scaife (pronounced SKAYF) inherited roughly $500 million in 1965, and with more family bequests and income from trust funds and investments in oil, steel and real estate, he nearly tripled his net worth over his lifetime. But unlike his forebears, who were primarily benefactors of museums, public art collections, education and medicine, he gave hundreds of millions of dollars to promote conservative political causes.self made man lol your pal, Fred |
