Stephen Girard (May 20, 1750 – December 26, 1831; born Étienne Girard) was a naturalized American citizen, philanthropist, and banker of French origin. He singularly saved the U.S. government from financial collapse during the War of 1812 by personally financing the war, and is known to have been the first multi-millionaire in US history. He is estimated to have been the fourth richest American of all time, based on the ratio of his fortune to contemporary GDP. Childless, he devoted much of his fortune to philanthropy, particularly the education and welfare of orphans. His legacy is still felt in his adopted home of Philadelphia and his estate continues to fund philanthropic endeavors to this day.

  • Stephen Girard (Bordéus, 20 de maio de 1750 — Filadélfia, 26 de dezembro de 1831; nascido Étienne Girard), foi um empresário, banqueiro e filantropo de origem francesa e naturalizado cidadão americano. Ele salvou singularmente o governo dos EUA do colapso financeiro durante a Guerra de 1812, financiando pessoalmente a guerra. Ele foi provavelmente o primeiro milionário da história dos EUA e é conhecido por ter sido o primeiro multimilionário da história dos EUA. Estima-se que ele tenha sido o quarto americano mais rico de todos os tempos, com base na proporção de sua fortuna em relação ao PIB contemporâneo. Sem filhos, ele dedicou grande parte de sua fortuna à filantropia, particularmente à educação e bem-estar dos órfãos. Seu legado ainda é sentido em sua casa adotiva na Filadélfia e sua propriedade continua a financiar empreendimentos filantrópicos até hoje. (pt)
