About Caroline Rose Hunt
Caroline Rose Hunt (born January 8, 1923) was an American heiress, hotelier and philanthropist.

Caroline Rose Hunt, the Texas oil heiress who quietly diversified her investments and became one of the nation’s wealthiest women in the 1980s after two billionaire brothers tried to corner the world’s silver market and lost fortunes when the price collapsed, died on Tuesday in Dallas. She was 95.
Her death, at a hospice facility, was confirmed by a family spokesman, Andy Stern.
Unassuming, gracious, caring more about raising her children and tomatoes than about market strategies, Ms. Hunt was content to let advisers manage her affairs as her brothers Nelson Bunker Hunt, known as Bunker, and William Herbert Hunt, known as Herbert, corralled a third to half of the world’s deliverable silver in a dizzying 1980 roller-coaster ride from glut to debacle.
While her brothers hemorrhaged money and plunged into years of lawsuits, fines, damage claims and bankruptcy proceedings, Ms. Hunt, who inherited about $600 million, enlarged her portfolio of oil, gas, timber and real estate to $1.3 billion by venturing successfully into apparel, charter helicopter and small-plane services, shopping centers, office complexes and luxury hotels in the United States, Europe and Asia.
