About Wilma Tisch
Wilma Tisch owes her fortune to her late husband Laurence (d. 2003) and his brother Bob, who started Loews Corp as a New Jersey hotel venture in 1946.
Wilma's son James is the president and CEO of publicly traded Loews, which now has interests in drilling, natural gas pipelines and insurance.
Her sister-in law Joan Tisch, also a billionaire, died in 2017; Wilma's son Andrew co-chairs Loews' board with Joan's son Jonathan.
At NYU, the Tisch family donated funds to support the Tisch School of the Arts and the Tisch Hospital at Langone Medical Center.
Wilma donates some of her Loews shares annually to her three children's charitable foundations.
