Harry Falconer McLean (18 February 1881 - April 1961) was a Canadian railway contractor and eccentric philanthropist.
He was well known for giving away large sums of money to people he had just met, and even throwing bills from hotel windows.
[1] McLean frequently handed out cash or cheques to people he encountered, including hotel staff and taxi drivers.
He made many other private, anonymous donations, which led to him being known as Mr X until his identity was revealed, without his consent.
As a lad, I remember sneaking into his property with some pals to see his private Zoo of animals and birds.
