Mellon Wealth May Always Be Mystery

Andrew W Mellon and his two children are believed to hold about 500 million dollars in wealth though official figures show 205 million for Mellon alone as of 1931. The Mellon fortune is tied to a personal holding company, with stock split between Paul Mellon and Alisa Bruce, while Mellon plans to donate 20 million in preferred stock to a national art gallery. The hearing also disclosed substantial holdings in Bethlehem Steel, Carborundum, Koppers, coal companies, American Locomotive, Pullman, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Pennsylvania Railroad, Westinghouse, Allis Chalmers, Niagara Hudson Power and other firms, with little in bonds or mortgages.
