...than 98% of his contemporaries, the titles of host, amateur scientist, clubman (20 of them), with all of which he is quaintly press-shy. His fortune has come from public utilities, which he developed, not as a sportsman but as a shrewd businessman, and which may now exceed a round hundred millions.
