Rockefeller Family Gifts
(N.Z Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK. August 7. The philanthropic gifts of the Rockefeller family over the last century were estimated at 2,500,000.000 dollars (about £906,881.000) by the “New York Times” today. “Even the Rockefellers and those associated with them have no more accurate idea of what has been spent or what is left, and they have always discouraged ‘guesstimates’,” the newspaper says. Financial sources familiar with the facts estimated that what has been expended in philanthropies and what is still left in the treasuries of the Rockefeller Foundation and other funds stands at between 2,500,000.000 dollars and 3.000.000.000 dollars.
