[Chitowncy]

Wow. Think ISU will ever have a donor give this much? Truly game-changing from a facilities perspective. $300 Million!!

Who’s the closest thing we have to a David Booth?

I believe the business college at U of Chicago is also named for him.

Calling the Sukups? I don't know. What an amazingly large gift though.

Sadly, we don't have any billionaires, but we had a few CEOs.

If i would have to bet Todd Snyder is a pretty big fashion designer in NYC that is an Iowa State alum. He started a sports apparel company but sold it to American eagle.

"In 2024, Todd Snyder was described by the New York Times as “the righteous inheritor of Ralph Lauren's mantle” [21] and “arguably the most important American designer in Europe this season”[22] by GQ."

those are not very good lists. that's just famous people, at best.

there are thousands of people in Iowa with net worth of $5M+, maybe tens of thousands

Albaughs, Sukups, and Reimanns?

who is the anti booze one

 

[Al_4_State]

who is the anti booze one

My guess is Sukup

 

[cytor]

Beth Ford is the CEO of Land o Lakes.... perhaps she has a few million to toss in the pot. Certainly not at the $300 million level.

Anyone that owns 400 acres is worth 5 mil

 

[Clonefan32]

Barf. I don’t care how rich you are giving 300 million to college athletics is absurd. That’s an enormous amount of money that could do actual good. And then to act in his press release like he’s done something charitable. Give me a break.

 

[JEFF420]

My guess is Sukup

thank god i can keep my country living mags

 

[ClonerJams]

Harry Stine is the richest man in Iowa. How much he gives to ISU? No idea

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I mean, I'm jealous, and would have a different opinion if this happened to us. However, I still really hate what college athletics has become.

Agreed!! And several of them aren't even Iowa residents (Shawn Johnson, Kurt Warner, & Ashton Kutcher, etc.)

One link says he donates to McPherson College....

"Stine is a generous donor to his alma mater, McPherson College, and the Mayo Clinic."

 

[pourcyne]

What about some of our guys who have made the Big Time (NFL, etc)?

Nobody says all the dough has to come from just one person.

Those list of the top rich people in Iowa are absolutely worthless other than Harry Stine and Danny Albaugh. They are actually stupid beyond those two names.
