Nah, a piker and a pauper, only owning near 10% of the whole damn city.
Died "land rich and cash poor," but left all sorts of interesting places to visit.
This is his modest estate overlooking the area of the baths:

The Cliff House restaurant thrives still.
There is a great sort of amusement park/museum with old mechanical games and a camera obscura that shows the ocean front.

It sounds like he was generous to the public in many of his projects. I had to laugh when I read he bought that house and land out there for $15,000.
