second suit asking for accounting of the estate and removal of the trustees. She said that Hugh and Cone advised her to sign the agreement for tax reasons, and falsely claimed that Culverhouse was on the brink of bankruptcy. She charged that the three trustees, Cone, Jack Donlan, and Stephen F. Story, paid themselves $4.35 million in bonuses for arranging the Buccaneers' sale, sums far in excess of what Culverhouse himself had specified, and that they paid Story a sum that was comparable to the salary of a Fortune 500 executive for managing the estate and included a 10-year golden parachute clause. She also alleged that the value of Culverhouse's estate had been misrepresented to her at the time that she signed the agreement. The lawsuits made the details of the Culverhouse estate public. When it was discovered that the trust had paid hush money to a mistress of Hugh's, Joy's lawyer alleged that Hugh had planned to divorce Joy, and that the trust was created to deprive her of her rightful assets. Court depositions revealed three extramarital affairs, including Susan Brinkley, wife of broadcaster David Brinkley. The suits were eventually settled, with each of the three trustees being paid $3 million to remove themselves from the handling of his estate, and Joy being allowed to appoint her own trustees. Joy then said of Hugh, "I'd like to pull him out of the grave and shoot him with every bullet I could get". Philanthropy In contrast with his frugal ways in business, Culverhouse frequently contributed to the community. Some of his notable donations include: A $4.6 million gift to the University of South Florida, which established the Culverhouse Chair in Education at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee and was the largest donation in school history; $600,000 to the University of Florida, for the establishment of the Hugh F. Culverhouse Eminent Scholars Chair in Federal Taxation; $500,000 to the Stetson University College of Law, for a visiting-professor chair; $10 million to the University of Alabama, the 3rd largest gift in school history; of vacant Tarpon Springs, Florida land to Habitat for Humanity; and The first $1 million pledged for the construction of the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. Culverhouse was also a member of the board of trustees who administered the annual Florida Prize award for outstanding work in the visual or performing arts. Awards 1975 Golden Plate Award
