Death of John D. MacArthur ends era of billionaire eccentrics
John D. MacArthur, billionaire financier and Palm Beach figure who lived simply in the Colonnades Hotel, died at 80 from pancreatic cancer. His will leaves most assets to his wife and two children, with the rest in trust for charity. He built Bankers Life into a vast empire, owned Florida land and other holdings, and planned to refurbish the Biltmore Hotel before health issues forced sale. He avoided ostentation, preferring the hotel coffee shop lifestyle, and he is survived by Catherine, two children, and relatives including a cousin of General Douglas MacArthur.
