“Being a millionaire is a tough road to hoe.” The late Winthrop Rockefeller was fond of saying that. Staff would also sometimes explain to him that everybody within the sound of his voice—without exception and including his staff— would trade places with him so fast it would make your head swim. They’d hand over all their worldly possessions in exchange for his wallet (and its contents) without even having to think about it. They’d also throw in their hound dog, if they had one.
Imagine that. A big time foundation pushing equity.
