A bundler for President Barack Obama with a history of bankrolling
liberal documentaries and teaching “Access Consciousness” classes
unsuccessfully sued to keep her deceased father’s fortune out of the
hands of charity.
Curry Glassell is the daughter of the late Alfred C. Glassell Jr., a Houston oil multimillionaire and philanthropist. Glassell Jr. earned millions in the oil and natural gas business and gave much of it away to charities and nonprofit organizations.
He left his daughter millions of dollars. She is now a major donor to the Obama campaign and has pledged to bundle between $100,000 and $200,000 for Obama’s reelection effort.
She donated $5,000 in 2012 directly to Obama’s reelection campaign, as well as $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund and $30,800 to the Democratic National Committee, records show. She also donated $40,000 to the Swing State Victory Fund.
While the $3 million she was bequeathed has allowed her to become a high roller in the Democratic Party, Glassell apparently was not satisfied with the amount of her inheritance.
She sued after her father’s death to invalidate the last will her father signed, arguing that lawyers pressured a mentally weak man to donate more money to charity—a decision that reduced the amount Glassell inherited.
