History
Miami's lady of philanthropy has been a realestate investor, Florida's first licensed female building contractor, a Ziegfield showgirl, and an enormously successful businesswoman. She married one of the community's most successful citizens, who was a banker, lawyer, investor, real estate developer, and community leader. She supports a wide range of charities, but those benefitting children and the elderly have been favorites in a lifetime of charitable work. Her $10 million bequest to Mount Sinai Medical Center in memory of her late husband, Baron de Hirsch Meyer, is the most generous in the history of this institution.
