About George Stiebel

The first black Jamaican millionaire

Another popular attraction in Jamaica’s capital is the Devon House, the former residence of Jamaica’s first black millionaire, whose father, by the way, was Jewish.

George Stiebel was the offspring of a German Jewish father and a black Jamaican housekeeper, and he allegedly made his fortune when he purchased an abandoned gold mine and discovered gold in it, explains museum guide Marcia Riley Brown. His beautiful mansion is now famous for the best Jamaican ice cream, sold on the premises.
