I wonder how Dr. Violet Patton came to have all this money to donate. In a quick web search I wasn't able to find any information. Does anyone know?

Maybe because she was/is a pretty famous author for quite a few years. And obviously took care of her money.

Apparently she invested in the right stock at the right time.

She is also 103. Lots of time to compound her returns.

Yes she did. Very interesting. There was nothing in her background to suggest that kind of money, even given her age and compounding of returns.
