Milton Hershey, the founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company, left his fortune primarily to the Milton Hershey School, a charitable organization he established for underprivileged children. After his death in 1945, the majority of his estate, which included a significant portion of the Hershey Chocolate Company, was directed towards funding the school and its mission. His wife, Catherine Hershey, also received a share, but the vast majority of his wealth was intended to benefit future generations of children through the school.
