Heinrich-Hartmut Richard Gustav "Henry" Arnhold (September 15, 1921 – August 23, 2018) was an American banker and philanthropist.[1] He was born in Dresden, the fourth child of Lisa and Heinrich Arnhold. The Arnhold family owned Arnhold Brothers, one of Germany's largest private banks, founded in 1864. In 1931 the bank joined with S. Bleichröder to form Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder.[2]
Arnhold escaped German-occupied Norway for the United States in 1941.[3] There, during World War II, he served in that country's army intelligence as one of the Ritchie Boys. After the war he joined the family's now New York-based Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder; he became its non executive chairman in the 1970s after the death of its founder, and his uncle Hans Arnhold.[4] In 1967 he invested in the fund created by George Soros.
