-'''Robert Maguire Ugland''' (1872-1957) was a British brewer and industrialist who founded the [[Cayman Islands rum cake|Tortuga]] factory in the [[Cayman Islands|British West Indies]] and who, having made his fortune exporting rum cakes, devoted the autumn years of his life to corporate philanthropy.

-He set up his first shelter — a safe house for lost and wayward corporate fictions, in Bermuda in 1923, and later  in 1941 established a colossal facility for unwanted limited liability corporations, general partnerships, Delaware subsidiaries, corporeal trust entities and fiduciaries in the then uninhabited [[Cayman Islands]].
-:''“Give me your poor, huddled, lost little [[special purpose vehicle]]s of the world. Give them to me. I will feed them. I will shelter them, just as they will shelter you, and your taxable income.”
 Ugland’s legacy today is the grand, five story Spanish frontage to [[Ugland House]] which, to this day, houses tens of thousands of [[orphan ownership|orphan]] companies.
