Reply to comment by AspireAgain in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain

I learned about this from CBS This Morning a couple of Sundays ago. It’s a huge ego project for David Geffen. It is a difficult question, on that I agree.
