Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain
Yes, tale as old as time. Give away money to get rich! You can even write of a portion of it!

What’d you donate 1/70th of your wealth to today?

When you give your hundred million I hope you keep that in mind.
