Personally I find it sad but I'm sure some of you might be interested to know that Joan B. Kroc, the billionaire widow of McDonald's Corp. founder Ray Kroc died in her San Diego home today. After her husband died in 1984 she became a huge philanthropist and give away millions of dollars to charities and was one of the largest donators to the San Diego Children's hospital which is widely recognized as one of the finest children's hospitals in the world.
With an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, Kroc ranked No. 121 on Forbes magazine's latest list of the nation's wealthiest people. Was the largest share holder of the McDonald's Corporation and at one time owned the San Diego Padres Major League Base Ball team. Kroc also contributed more than $90 million to the Salvation Army for a 12.5-acre arts and recreation center in east San Diego.
She seemed like a nice and giving lady. It's to bad McDonald's Corp couldn't die and she could have lived.
