Paul Mellon was an American philanthropist who was heir to an enormous fortune amassed by his father, financier and industrialist Andrew W. Mellon, but chose not to center his career in the business world. Instead, he sought to contribute to the cultural life of the country and eventually gave about a billion dollars to fund and house art collections, protect and enhance the environment, and support education and the musical and literary arts.
