The Mystery $130M Donor Is Unveiled

And his name is Timothy Mellon the Melon family heir, and grandson of Andrew W. Mellon, who served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1921 until 1932, He is known for his pro-growth fiscal policies, which included debt reduction, tax cuts for businesses, and a balanced budget.

In recent yearsm, he poured hundreds of millions of dollars into supporting Trump.

He is also donated millions to the JFK Jr. presidential campaign and has also given money to his anti-vaccine group. So now it;s become clear why Trump insisted that RFK Jr become our secretary of HHS.

Another banking multi billionaire heir who's puzzled why minorities can't be 'better' people.

He moved to Wyoming, so he could be around his people. In an autobiography that he self-published in 2015, he wrote that Black people were “even more belligerent” after social programs were expanded in the 1960s and ’70s, and that social safety net programs amounted to “slavery redux.”

He wrote another book in the summer of 2024 about his work turning around Pan Am Systems. The book was put out by Skyhorse Publishing, which also published a recent memoir by Melania Trump. Tony Lyons, the president of Skyhorse Publishing, co-founded a super PAC, American Values 2024, that backed RFK Jr's presidential bid.

But I'm sure this is what the MAGA masses and anti-woke voted for in 2024.

Is that the Carnegie Mellon family (university in Pittsburgh)?

Add to that Andrew Carnegie, and you get the Carnegie Mellon U. Both families made their fortunes with Pittsburgh as a base.

Timothy Mellon inherited the money, but he now lives in Wyoming.

@AthrillatheHunt Same university yet not directly related to Timothy Mellon, rather the Mellon family.

Origin of Carnegie Mellon University Name

Carnegie Mellon University, located in Pittsburgh, is named after both Andrew Carnegie and Andrew W. Mellon due to their contributions to the institution's founding and development.

Historical Context

Andrew Carnegie established the Carnegie Technical Schools in 1900, which later evolved into the university.

In 1967, the university merged with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, founded by the Mellon family.

Combined Legacy

The name recognizes both families' significant impacts on education and philanthropy in Pittsburgh and beyond.

Thus, although Timothy Mellon is not directly associated, his family's legacy influences the institution through this historical connection.

Carnegie Mellon University was officially formed in 1967 through the merger of the Carnegie Institute of Technology with the Mellon Institute of Research. The latter founded in 1913 by Andrew W. Mellon (son of Thomas Mellon) and Richard B. Mellon (son of Thomas Mellon) as part of the University of Pittsburgh.

Andrew W. Mellon is the grandfather of Timothy Mellon.

The patriarch is Timothy Mellon.

@Northwest I didn't give the further analysis of the situation. Yet the AI insisted in that further analysis that that Carnegie family continues to be the outstanding controlling factor. And that the Mellon family is not the controller.

Believe me I thoroughly queried it about your point. Even the fact that his question stated the Mellon family.

Carnegie set up the Carnegie Corporation of New York to handle, among other things, contributions to Carnegie Mellon University. The corporation donated an initial $130M in 1911 to fund the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The corporation continues to contribute to Carnegie Mellon.

The Richard King Mellon Foundation has donated over $300 million to Carnegie Mellon University since its founding. It continues to fund various programs.

@Northwest Trusts are funny things. And without the precise wording in the trust, it's impossible to say who controls what.

@DeWayfarer Carnegie's original gift, is worth about $5 billion in today's money. But some might argue it's peanuts, relative to the hundreds of hundreds of thousands of people he nearly enslaved to achieve his riches.
