| Description | Philanthropist Chris Abele moved to Milwaukee 12 years ago, and since he arrived, the 38-year-old has donated thousands (and thousands) of dollars to a variety of local art, education and human rights organizations.
Abele is the head of the Argosy Foundation, located on Wells Street in a building overlooking Cathedral Park, with an estimated worth of $450 million. Abele's father, John, founded the Boston Scientific Corporation, a leading supplier of medical equipment.
Argosy was based in Boston for a decade, but after Abele attended Lawrence University in Appleton, romance brought him to Milwaukee. Although the relationship didn't work out, Abele became smitten with Brew City and eventually relocated the foundation. |
