federico santa mara

Federico Santa Maria was a Chilean philanthropist and businessman. Although he was a member of two of the most respected and influential Chilean families of the 19th century, the Santa Mara and the Carrera families, he made his huge fortune in the sugar market of Paris, in which he arrived when he was very young. His importance in the sugar market was considerable: he became a major power in the French economy. During World War I he closed down all his businesses, declaring that he did not want to profit from war. He also supported the French Army, donating clothes and weapons for an entire regiment. Because he had no descendants, he gave his entire fortune to his hometown Valparaso for the founding of a technical and engineering school. The result of his legacy was the Federico Santa Mara Technical University.
