Reply to comment by cl0001 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
So there needs to be a national law that a 4x donation within 10 years, or 2x donation within 20 years, nullifies any "in perpetuity" clauses?

This is a framework of rich-person-vanity-license plates.
Nothing is in perpetuity no matter how much one pays, guarantee a new generation can get stuff named after them.
