Who they are

She gives away two percent, deducts a hundred, and gets a marble wing with her name on it for the trouble. The foundation is a vehicle, and like all her vehicles, someone else drives it. She chairs a committee to study a problem her family's holdings actively manufacture, then accepts an award for the study. Twenty-two million in net worth, a historic estate, and a calendar of $50,000 gala tables where the cause is incidental to the seating chart. Generosity is real only as a line item; the rest is a museum board, a tax attorney, and the bottomless human need to be thanked from a podium.

Our neighborhood

A historic estate with a conservation easement that doubled as a deduction, set behind gates in an old-money zip code where the streets are named for the families who still live on them. The art is on loan to a museum that named a gallery for her. Charitable, technically.

Shopping

Acquisitions include a historic estate, a conservation easement that doubled as a deduction, and art on loan to a museum that named a gallery after her. Gala tables run $50,000 and the cause is incidental to the seating chart. She buys the dress in a city where nobody photographs her buying it.

Spending

Gives away two percent, deducts one hundred, and receives a marble wing for the inconvenience. The foundation is a vehicle and, like all her vehicles, somebody else drives it. Twenty-two million arranged by a tax attorney who is the only participant being honest about what this is.

Media

The arts section, an auction catalog, and a nonprofit-sector newsletter that quotes her twice a year. Coverage of her family's holdings arrives pre-softened by a communications firm on retainer. She reads the program before she reads the speech.

Interests

Chairing a committee to study a problem her family's holdings actively manufacture, then accepting an award for the study. Board seats, an honorary degree, and the bottomless human need to be thanked from a podium. Charitable, technically.
