He built up his family’s magazine business with great success, extending it into radio and TV. At Sunnylands, his grand estate near Palm Springs, California, he entertained royalty, presidents and many other celebrities. He was United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1974. A keen philanthropist, he was a trustee of the Eisenhower Fellowships, and is believed to have donated $2 billion to educational establishments and art galleries. He also is remembered for his media campaigns against the Barnes Foundation and the wish to relocate its art collection. ==Early life== Walter Annenberg was born to a Jewish family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on March 13, 1908. He was the only son of Sadie Cecelia née Freedman (1879–1965) and Moses "Moe" Louis Annenberg, who published the ''Daily Racing Form'' and purchased ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' in 1936. Annenberg was a stutterer since childhood.〔() 〕〔() 〕 He had seven sisters, whose names were Diana Annenberg (1900–1905), Esther "Aye" Annenberg Simon Levee (1901–1992), Janet Annenberg Hooker (1904–1997), Enid Annenberg Haupt (1906–2005), Lita Annenberg Hazen (1909–1995), Evelyn Annenberg Jaffe Hall (1911–2005), and Harriet Beatrice Annenberg Ames Aronson (1914–1969). The Annenberg family moved to Long Island, New York, in 1920, and Walter attended high school at the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, graduating in 1927.〔 He dropped out of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and never attained a college degree. While in college, he was a member of Zeta Beta Tau, a traditionally Jewish fraternity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zeta Beta Tau Notable Alumi )〕 Annenberg was greatly affected by tax evasion charges and other scandals that involved his father in the 1930s. A significant part of his adult life was dedicated to rehabilitating the family's name through philanthropy and public service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter Annenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
