NYC's Central Park gets $100 million donation from hedge fund billionaire

By Miguel Llanos, NBC News

Calling it the largest donation ever to a park in the U.S., New York City on Tuesday announced that hedge fund billionaire John Paulson had donated $100 million to the nonprofit that maintains Central Park.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined Paulson and others at a ceremony at the park's Bethesda Fountain Tuesday morning.

"Central Park is the most deserving of all of New York’s cultural institutions," Paulson told reporters. "And I wanted the amount to make a difference. The park is very large, and its endowment is relatively small."
