The Kodak Billionaire Who Gave Away $100 Million to Strangers

🏆 Please consider to join my channel as an exclusive member and supporter:    / @oldmoneydynasty   George Eastman built Kodak into one of the most powerful companies in America, yet he never married, had no children, and left no one to inherit any of it. He lived alone in a 37 room mansion in Rochester that he once had sawed in half and rebuilt, simply because a single room was the wrong shape. Over his lifetime he gave away close to 100 million dollars, much of it anonymously, choosing to watch the money be spent while he was still alive to see it. This is the story of the man who put a camera in every household on earth, the fortune he refused to keep, and the empire that outlived him by eighty years.
