Who says he bought it? Some people did buy titles as it was the only way
they were going to get them. As well as being a successful industrialist
Nuffield donated 30 million Sterling (those values, not today's) to
charitable causes. He was created a Baronet in 1929, Baron Nuffield in
1934, and a Viscount in 1938. He didn't die until 1963.
