I live in a town that is up to its eyeballs in libraries and museums named after the like four rich families who were here in the 1800s and 1900s. Libraries and museums that survived the subsequent economic collapse of the region because their endowments put them outside the regular need to turn a profit that imploded most of the small and medium sized businesses in the area between the '60s and the '90s.
If you're looking for someone who wasn't *born* a mark, you'll have to look elsewhere. 😉
(Lotta people justifiably against robber barons.
Not a lot of those people endowing libraries with all that idealism though.)
