I was just thinking about this as a curiosity? Would definitely have to be in the billions. Many years of HBS name-recognition to rebuild.

Bloomberg donated $3B to JHU and I have no idea if they named anything after him
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
That's a comp for sure. Harvard is more prestigious and well-known, and HBS more than their med school. What's our multiple?
I personally think it's crazy and interesting how those names you mentioned, are much more recognizable and prestigious than the underlying university. No one knows UPenn
I don't know if that's true...I think if someone doesn't know the Univ. of Penn., they wouldn't know what Wharton is, and vice versa.
Well back then I certainly only knew Wharton, and didn't know of UPenn. Because I read Buffett and knew he went to Wharton.
I think most people know the names of the universities more than the Bschool names...
I thought this was a joke and then I looked downthread...
University of Pennsylvania is a far more recognizable brand than Wharton. Understand that you exist in a finance bubble, and the way that 99.99% of the world thinks and lives is vastly different than you. Which isn't a bad thing... but Penn is (arguably) the country's oldest secular university, Ivy League school, founded by one of the seminal figures in the country's history, etc etc. Wharton is a great business school, but outside of Wall Street it doesn't have the same cachet.
Man, ole Joe Wharton got a helluva deal back in 1881. Donated 100k (3.14 MM adj. for inflation) and got the whole school named after him.
The whole school isn’t named after him.
If he donated that to me, I would name my whole house after him. But he wouldn't
