George Peabody
George Peabody is an American financier and philanthropist. He is considered by many to be the father of modern philanthropy. Born into a poor family in Massachusetts, Peabody ran a dry goods business and later a bank. In 1837 he moved to London, where he became America's most famous banker and helped establish the fledgling country's international credit. Without a son to whom he could pass on his business, Peabody hired Junius Spencer Morgan as a partner in 1854 and their joint venture would become JP Morgan & Co. after Peabody retired in 1864. At an old age, Peabody has been acclaimed around the world for its philanthropy. He founded the Peabody Trust in the UK, the Peabody Institute and the George Peabody Library in Baltimore, and is responsible for many other charitable initiatives. For his generosity, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and became the City of London's Free Man, among many other honors.
