Now That's a Big Donation

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to get something significant named after you? More specifically, how much would it cost to get the NYU Medical Center renamed?

Answer: $200,000,000. Yes, that says two hundred million dollars.

NYU Medical Center announced this past week that it will be renamed the NYU Elaine A. and Kenneth G. Langone Medical Center, in honor of the chairman of its board of trustees and his wife, whose unrestricted $200 million gift is the largest in the Medical Center’s history.
