American businessman and socialite
About
Jump to
Giraud Foster (8 November 1850 – 22 September 1945) was a businessman and socialite notable during America's gilded age. An avid bridge player, equestrian and sailor, Foster accumulated a large fortune from coal and shipping. Like his wife the former Jean Van Nest, whom he married in 1893, Foster could trace his family back to the early settlers of New York. Other sources show Foster's family arriving in the United States more recently, from Scotland, in the 1800s. The couple had one child, a son, also named Giraud, but always known as "Boy", born in 1904.
