The Guggenheim family is an American family known for their involvement in the mining industry and later in philanthropy. The family is named after the Alsatian village Gougenheim.[1]

History

Meyer Guggenheim, a Swiss citizen of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, arrived in America in 1847. Over the next few decades, the family became known for their global successes in mining and smelting, including the American Smelting and Refining Company. Eventually the family possessed one of the largest fortunes in the world. They sold their global mining interests following World War I, then later purchased nitrate mines in Chile. Subsequently, the family largely left direct involvement in running businesses.

Family members became known for their philanthropy in diverse areas such as modern art and aviation, including several Guggenheim Museums, the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory and I. M. Pei's Guggenheim Pavilion at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

Current interests

Guggenheim Partners today manages over $200 billion in assets.[2] Another family vehicle, Guggenheim Investment Advisors, oversees about $50 billion in assets.[3]
