Henry Hillman was an American businessman who had a net worth of $2.5 billion at the time of his death in 2017. That net worth made him one of the richest people in Pennsylvania when he was living. A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Henry Hillman inherited his father's company, Pittsburgh Coke & Chemical.
