Today he is a vigorous member of G.M.'s finance committee -and has 688,046 shares, which will yield him $3.1 million this year. Close behind, with 645,176 shares, is John Lee Pratt, 84, who came to the com pany from Du Pont in 1919 and rose to become a G.M. vice president. Now a retired Virginia farmer who shuns publicity, Pratt so successfully keeps out of public view...
