Uncle Pennybags: Difference between revisions

* On the [[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]], specifically in ''[[Raising Steam]]'', Sir Harry King is revealed to be this. He [[Self-Made Man|worked his way up from the gutter]] and hasn't forgotten what it was like. He'd punch you in the mouth (and he's still got a '''hard''' punch) if you called him a philanthropist, but his employees get pensions when they retire, and their significant medical expenses tend to be taken care of once Sir Harry learns about them.

** When two fellows who '''weren't''' his employees — they were in fact trying to become his competitors — accidentally blew themselves up, Harry thought about their widowed and now childless old mother ... and arranged a pension for '''her'''.
