Looking for an Arizona Millionaire

In 1968, a Lake Havasu man bought the London Bridge for $2.46 million and transported it home to the desert. That's not the kind of Arizona millionaire I'm thinking of. Japanese millionaire Genshiro Kawamoto gave 3 of his Hawaiian mansions to homeless Native Hawaiians. From the Republic:
Kawamoto, one of Japan's richest men, said he plans to open eight of his 22 Kahala homes to needy Hawaiian families. They will be able to stay in the homes for up to 10 years, he said.
I'm waiting for an Arizonan to do the same--unfortunately, I don't think there's millions for me to make as a teacher. I might have an idea for how Jim Pedersen could actually win an election with his money.
