As it is, does not meet WP:GNG. For a person who allegedly owns so much and has done so much, there really ought to be more sources. There are a lot of claims to significance here, but none are backed up by sources. ubiquity (talk) 21:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Why it pays to stay anonymus?

Becoming a newly minted millionaire comes at a personal price. You lose your anonymity. . Friends, family and random acquaintances alike, will try to get a piece of this windfall. Everyone is different. Some people will enjoy the spotlight, others won't. .. A lot of rich people come to realise latter in their lives, that there were better off if they stayed anonymous and avoid fights between family members after they passed way.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete, in my searches I found a couple of trivial mentions and a bunch of false positives (including a professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado, a musical band -  "Thomas Wynn & The Believers" - and the victim of a firearm) but nothing substantial or significant about this businessman.

 * Speedy delete as a hoax. Wynn "is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. In the winter of 2005, it became known that in 1999 Wynn had bought Edvard Munch's Madonna. Reportedly, this was for $11.5 million." Meanwhile, apparently in a parallel universe, Steven A. Cohen "is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. In the winter of 2005, it became known that in 1999 Cohen had bought Edvard Munch's Madonna. Reportedly, this was for $11.5 million." In fact, Wynn is pretty much copied from the well-referenced Cohen article, with a few changes here and there. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:26, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
