Thomas or Tom S. Lippy (c. 1860 – 1931) was an American millionaire and philanthropist who became wealthy as a prospector in the Klondike Gold Rush. Lippy was the athletic director of or an instructor at the Seattle YMCA, before he and his wife Salome headed north in search of gold in 1896 or 1897 after an injury forced him to leave his YMCA job. Some Scotsmen from Nanaimo had staked claims Fourteen to Seventeen on Eldorado Creek. They decided to abandon Sixteen and Seventeen in order to concentrate on some other claims. Lippy had a claim further up the creek, but restaked Sixteen because his wife wanted a cabin, and there was timber there. Sixteen proved to be one of the richest claims of the gold rush.
