Alfred I. Du Pont
Alfred Irénée du Pont (May 12, 1864 – April 28, 1935) was an American industrialist, financier and philanthropist and a member of the influential Du Pont family.
Alfred du Pont first rose to prominence through his work in his family's Delaware-based gunpowder manufacturing plant, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (better known as Du Pont or DuPont), in which for many years he served as a director of the board and Vice President of operations. Following an acrimonious departure and a brief dip in personal fortunes, he embarked on business of his own, investing in land and banking in Florida. He died a multimillionaire, with the bulk of his fortune sustaining the Alfred I. duPont Testamentary Trust.
