Yoko Ono, 87, hasn’t been seen in public for more than a year – but privately, she’s been making moves with her vast fortune.

“She would wake up early every morning, go downstairs to the studio and handle the family business, allowing John to be a househusband,” said Mr Mintz, adding that John had no real business sense, and often needed her help to figure out the most mundane financial matters, such as how much to tip a waiter when he paid for a meal at a restaurant.
“We haven’t seen her for a very long time,” said Roland Greefkes, an iron artisan who made a wrought-iron gate for Ono’s property. “I never met anyone quite like her. She is really something special.” Ono recently donated $70,000 to the West Side Campaign Against Hunger, which, during the pandemic, has provided thousands of meals to out-of-work residents in her neighbourhood. And she has a 30-year relationship with WhyHunger, a New York-based non-profit fighting food deprivation around the world.
