    Carl H. Lindner, Jr. - Cincinnati Business Titan Passes Away at Age 92 October 18, 2011 12:10 PM ET CINCINNATI, Oct 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Carl Henry Lindner, Jr., innovative, self-made builder of businesses that employ thousands, generous philanthropist, loving husband, father and devout Christian, passed away yesterday, at the age of 92, from causes incident to age. He was surrounded by his wife, sons and other family members. At the time of his death, he was Chairman of the Board of American Financial Group, Inc., a major financial services company he founded in 1959. He was one of the most successful corporate financiers in the nation. Mr. Lindner was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1919, and the family moved to Cincinnati in 1930 when he was 11 years old. He developed industrious habits and a devotion to his community at a young age. Mr. Lindner dropped out of school at age 15, at the bottom of the Depression, and began working countless hours a day, delivering milk door-to-door while attending high school classes at night. In 1940, he opened an ice cream shop with his father, brothers and sister. Working with his family, he transformed the milk delivery business into what is now known as United Dairy Farmers, originally a milk and dairy store which launched Mr. Lindner's career as a self-made businessman and entrepreneur. Over the course of his distinguished business and investment career, Mr. Lindner held controlling interests in such notable organizations as Great American Insurance Group, General Cable Corporation, The Penn Central Corporation, Hanna-Barbera Productions, Kings Island Company, the former Taft Broadcasting Company, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Cincinnati Reds, Chiquita Brands International Inc., and The Provident Bank.

  • The Great American Story
    The Great American Story PROUD HISTORY TO BRIGHT FUTURE The began generations ago; in an old-fashioned Great American time before airplanes flew; when ladies wore Story long dresses and children with buttoned shoes rolled hoops down brick-paved streets. Great American’s history continues, as it embraces the exciting challenges of the 21st century, carrying forward a proud tradition of strength with integrity. When the German American Insurance Company was formed in 1872, it was the desire of its immigrant founders to create an insurance company of such financial stability that it might enjoy the unqualified confidence of the insuring public and its shareholders. In New York City, William F. Heins came up with the idea to begin an insurance company with a solid- sounding $1 million in capital. By early March, 1872, directors convened the first board meeting of the German American Insurance Company. The first policy was issued on March 19, 1872, insuring a factory that manufactured hard rubber combs. The company symbol was an eagle. The history of our company began in 1872 when we wrote our first fire insurance policy as “German American Insurance Company” in New York City. Named in honor of the homeland of founder William Heins, German American leased space for its branch offices on Broadway, Liberty and John Streets in lower Manhattan. By 1877, German American had over 1,000 agents throughout the country and was one of the most financially stable companies in America. The company was well-regarded as an insurer actually willing to pay claims. When the Baltimore fire struck in 1904, German American paid out $550,000 in claims from its assets of $14 million.

  • Massmutual Buys Great American Life for $3.5 Billion | 1
    MassMutual buys Great American Life for $3.5 billion | 1 MassMutual buys Great American Life for $3.5 billion By Editorial Staff Thu, Jan 28, 2021 MassMutual was the sales leader in fixed-rate deferred annuities through the first nine months of 2020, with $5.18 billion in sales. This acquisition makes it an instant player in the fixed indexed annuity business. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company has agreed to buy Great American Life Insurance Company, a leading issuer of fixed and fixed indexed annuities, from American Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE:AFG), a company controlled by the billionaire Lindner family of Cincinnati. The purchase price is $3.5 billion, subject to adjustment at closing, according to a news release. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory and other necessary approvals. Great American Life will operate as an independent subsidiary of MassMutual. MassMutual was the US sales leader in fixed-rate deferred annuities through the first nine months of 2020, with $5.18 billion in sales. This acquisition makes it an instant player in the fixed indexed annuity business as well. Great American sold $1.77 billion worth of FIAs in the first three quarters of 2020, ranking ninth. “This transaction is symbiotic,” Sheryl Moore, CEO of Wink Inc., the annuity data and marketing shop in Des Moines. “MassMutual, in addition to having a robust life insurance line, dominates the multi-year guaranteed annuity market and has competitive variable annuities too. Great American complements them with its strong market share in the fixed, indexed, and structured annuity segments.

Lindner College of Business has undergone quite a transformation over the past few years. We’ve set new all-time records in terms of student applications, student enrollment, student professional experiences and student quality at both the undergraduate and graduate level and our programs have received national acclaim from a wide variety of sources. This past year was no different. Once again, we set records for incoming freshman enrollment and student quality. Our full-time MBA program was again ranked one of the Top 50 public MBA programs in the country by both U.S. News & World Report and Bloomberg Businessweek and our part-time MBA program earned the largest rankings jump of any MBA program in the United States over the past four years in U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, CEO Magazine ranked our online MBA one of the Top 20 programs in North America. While it’s certainly been rewarding to be a part of the Lindner College of Business’ recent figurative transformation, this past year it has been especially gratifying to see a matching physical transformation begin to take place. We announced plans for the construction of a new home for the University of Cincinnati’s business school a little more than a year ago and now the construction phase is in full effect.
