Timothy Mellon, the reclusive heir to the Mellon banking empire, gave two sprawling properties in Connecticut to Children\u2019s Health Defense last year, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. <\/p>\n

\n

A series of deeds shows that two adjacent properties in Lyme\u2014100-7 Joshuatown Road and 62 Joshua Lane, located at the intersection of the Connecticut and Eightmile Rivers\u2014add up to about 300 acres. They feature a pool, a tennis court, and multiple buildings, reports The Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The records also indicate that Mellon, 83, gave both properties to Children\u2019s Health Defense last August. Days later, Mellon signed an agreement for Clipper Properties to maintain the parcels of land.<\/p>\n

The properties were appraised at a total of $5.5 million this year, according to The Times. It was sold in August for $0, with Mellon agreeing to cover improvement and maintenance costs while retaining his access to parts of the properties, including a family cemetery.<\/p>\n

The Health Department, the Mellon Foundation, and Children\u2019s Health Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast. Kennedy resigned from the anti-vaccine group in before his confirmation hearings.<\/p>\n

In a text message to The Times, Mellon said the donation was none of the paper\u2019s business and declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Though Mellon has largely evaded the public eye, his donations to Trumpworld have made noise over the years. In October, after American troop salaries were caught in the crossfire of a government shutdown, Mellon pledged $130 million to keep service members paid.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a great gentleman,\u201d President Donald Trump said at the time. \u201cHe\u2019s a great patriot. He\u2019s obviously a very substantial man, and he contributed $130 million toward the military in order to make up any difference. So he wanted to see the military get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, Mellon donated millions to groups that backed Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign, including a hefty one-time gift of $50 million to a PAC supporting Trump. Mellon also made donations to Kennedy\u2019s presidential campaign, which ultimately flamed out.<\/p>\n

Mellon is the grandson of longtime Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon. Andrew, in turn, was the son of Thomas Mellon, founder of Mellon Bank, which made his family filthy rich for generations.<\/p>\n

Mellon\u2019s father, Paul, bred racehorses. When Fortune published its first list of the wealthiest Americans in 1957, it estimated that Paul, his sister, and his two cousins were among the eight wealthiest people in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn the world of politics, you want your name mentioned,\u201d Trump said of Mellon after he made the $130 million donation. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
