Like Philadelphia's late Dr. Albert C. Barnes who kept his own great collection closed to the general public ( Time, Jan. 2 ), Thompson, at 61, is something of a legend in his own lifetime.
He made his fortune during World War 2, when he took over a number of dying steel plants and kept them alive until the boom.
Even before he hit big money, he had begun buying modern paintings.
