Melvin Simon

Melvin Simon

Melvin Simon (October 21, 1926 – September 16, 2009)[1] was an American businessman and film producer, who co-founded the largest shopping mall company in the United States, the Simon Property Group, with his younger brother, Herbert Simon.[2]

Melvin and Herbert Simon jointly purchased the Indiana Pacers in 1983, and are credited with keeping the team in Indianapolis.[2]

Melvin Simon died on September 16, 2009, at the age of 82. He was survived by his wife of 37 years, his second, Bren Burns Simon.[2] A previous marriage ended in divorce.

After his death, a dispute over his most recent will arose between his children from his first marriage and his wife. The will, signed with the physical assistance of a financial advisor, was amended seven months before his death. The revised will provided significantly more for Bren, and significantly less for his children by his first marriage, than previous versions.[3]
