From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony N. Brady (August 22, 1841 - July 22, 1913) was a politically astute traction magnate, who used position in Albany to help secure franchises, particularly Brooklyn Rapid Transit, as well Albany Gas Light Company. Later he was the largest shareholder and a director of American Tobacco Company as of 1900, and successor companies (Consolidated Tobacco Company) in subsequent years.
He is considered to have been one of the 100 wealthiest Americans, having left an enormous fortune.[1], and perhaps the richest Catholic in the United States. His son and heir, James Cox Brady, Sr., was one of the thirty richest Americans as of 1918.
The Anthony N. Brady Memorial Laboratory, School of Medicine, Yale University is named for him.
