Woman Donates Secret Millions Upon Her Death

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - An Illinois woman's alma mater will greatly benefit from her frugal living.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Grace Groner had started a small scholarship program for Lake Forest College, from where she graduated in 1931. She had talked about contributing more after she died.

The 100-year-old Groner died in January and upon her death her attorney informed the college president what Lake Forest College would be receiving.

Her estate, which stemmed from buying $180 worth of stock in 1935, was worth $7 million. The entire sum will go into a foundation that will let many of the college's students pursue internships and study-abroad programs that they may not otherwise get to enjoy.

"Oh, my God," the president said, according to the newspaper.

The Tribune reports that she took a job at Abbott Laboratories after she graduated and worked as a secretary for 43 years. She bought three $60 shares of specially issued Abbott stock in 1935 and never sold them. As shares split she reinvested the dividends.

Groner never married nor had children. She lived in an apartment until a friend who died left her a small one-bedroom house.

She traveled after she retired and would occasionally make anonymous gifts to needy Lake Forest, Ill. residents through her attorney.

Groner's gift comes during a lull in college giving stemming from the economic recession.

7 ล้านในวันนี้อาจซื้อบ้านได้หนึ่งหลัง
180 เมื่อเจ็ดสิบห้าปีก่อนซื้ออะไรได้บ้าง? (ม่ายรุเฟ้ย เกิดมะทัน)

เลยไปค้นประวัติเงินเฟ้อของเมกา ย้อนไปได้ถึงปี 1914
