Who is this?
Frank Joseph MacKey (March 20, 1852 in Gilboa, New York – February 24, 1927 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) was an Irish-American polo player in the 1900 Summer Olympics. He was part of the Foxhunters Hurlingham polo team which won the gold medal. He also was a businessman, founding Household Finance Corp (HSBC Finance) in 1878. After a long illness, he shot himself at 74 while terminally ill and left to his much younger widow, Olga Leighton (aged 34), his enormous fortune ($500 million). Soon after his death, Olga married a Spanish aristocrat, Antonio Cabeza de Vaca, 10th Marquess of Portago, and became mother of two, the sportsman Alfonso de Portago and the socialite Sol de Moratalla.
