| 65 | Groucho | Kerr | m | Daniel and his wife Karen are trustees of the Jay Pritzker Foundation, a philanthropic fund that created the Pritzker Challenge at Tufts with gifts of $10 million. The Pritzker Challenge is designed to encourage members of the Tufts community to establish endowed or term scholarships for underprivileged minority students. Pritzker was the founder, guitarist and songwriter for the Chicago band Sonia Dada. Pritzker is ranked 293 in the 2013 list of "The 400 Richest Americans" by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $1.95 billion. He purchased Jerry Garcia's "Wolf" guitar for $790,000 in 2002. In 2017, he donated it to a charity auction, where Brian Halligan placed the winning bid totaling $1.9M. After many years, he directed a film about jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden which was released to theaters in May 2019. Originally titled Bolden! before being renamed to just Bolden, he funded the project from first draft to theatrical release because he felt the life of Buddy Bolden "was American history and tragedy of mythical proportion. From the outset I saw this as an opportunity to make an allegorical story about the soul of America." | Pritzker is married to Karen Edensword and has five children.
