Harrison Lefrak, who has a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University and a JD from Harvard Law School, is an angel investor. He’s also an executive at the LeFrak Trust Company, a private financial institution in Delaware, and a trustee of the LeFrak Foundation, a charitable organization.

Lefrak’s great-grandfather, Harry, made his fortune as a glazier in New York City’s early 1900s, and the family’s namesake real estate firm became synonymous with middle-class housing across Brooklyn, according to Forbes. His son Sam took over in 1948 and fueled massive expansion as the post-War construction boom soared. The company now owns a vast LeFrak City in Queens, as well as commercial real estate across the country.
