His relatives are still company's largest shareholders, but he sold his 10.5% stake in the mid-1990's and emigrated to Ireland.
His move was presumably timed to avoid capital gains taxes when he sold his Campbell's stake.
The Irish government reportedly gave him citizenship when he spent $1.5 million planting trees.
