Vivien Duffield

In March 2011 it was reported that: "The donor and fundraiser told the Standard she has given £200 million to British charities and £200 million to good causes in Israel since inheriting her father's fortune 32 years ago. The news came on the day she made an astonishing £8.3 million donation to British arts organisations - including £2.5 million to Tate Britain, £2.5 million to the National Theatre, £1 million to the Royal Shakespeare Company and £500,000 for Kensington Palace. A number of other arts institutions will benefit, including the Donmar Warehouse and the new Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate."

She was formerly married to financier John Duffield. In 2005 she separated from her partner of 32 years, Sir Jocelyn Stevens.
