10 Levi Zeigler Leiter
Born 2 Nov 1834 in Leitersburg, Maryland to parents of Dutch Calvinist descent. Starting off as a dry goods salesman, he later moved in 1854 to Chicago, where he went into a partnership with Marshall Field and Potter Palmer. When he sold his partnership to Field in 1881, to devote his attention to real estate speculation, the company was renamed Marshall Field's. Leiter eventually built a valuable real estate empire, including many buildings in the heart of Chicago. His wealth was capable of allowing his son Joseph to attempt to corner the wheat commodities market in 1897/8 as Levi's agent. Joseph became the largest holder of wheat in the history of the grain trade, before the corner collapsed. ("Levi Leiter", Wikipedia) Joseph alone bought and sold more than one hundred million bushels of wheat within a ten month period. One source, writing in 1898 estimates Levi's fortune was then worth $30 million dollars, but perhaps $3 to 9 million was lost in the wheat market corner attempt. Levi died of heart disease at the Vanderbilt family cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine on June 9, 1904. His estate became the subject of eight years of litigation. His eldest daughter Mary Victoria Leitner became Vicereine of India by her marriage to George Curzon Viceroy of India and is described as "living in oriental splendor." At his death, his will stipulated that his entire estate was to put in trust, for his widow and the net income shared among his four children. None of his estate was to be estranged until the last of the four children had died.
