MILTON PETRIE
The most generous man in the world.
Every morning, billionaire Milton Petrie walked from his New York apartment and bought a
newspaper from an old man on the street corner. One morning the man wasn’t there. Petrie
knew that the man was very ill in the city hospital, immediately he paid his hospital bill and later,
when the man died, he paid for his funeral.
The old man was just one of many people that Petrie helped with his money. Whenever he read
about personal disasters in his newspaper he sent generous cheques, especially to the families
of policemen or firemen injured at work. He also sent cheques to a mother who lost five
children in a fire, and a beautiful model, whose face was cut in a knife attack. It cost him
millions of dollars, but he still had millions left. He said that he was lucky at business and he
wanted to help those less fortunate than himself. ”the nice thing is, the harder I work, the more
money I make, and the more people I can help.”
Petrie died in 1994, when He was 92. His testament was 120 pages long because he left $150
million to 383 people. His widow Caroll, his fourth and last wife, said his generosity was a result
of the poverty of his early years. His family was poor but kind-hearted. His father was a Russian
immigrant, who became a policeman, but he never arrested anyone, he was too kind. He
couldn’t even give a parking ticket.
