All proceeds from the auction are going to charity, as per the request of David Rockefeller in his will. That article lists 12 charities. I think finding out what each of those 12 charities are is important. The proceeds from the sales of his estates were also supposed to go to charities. Don't know if they're the same charities as with the upcoming Christie's auction, but they should be tracked too.
Charity recipients that I've seen so far:
-
Rockefeller Brothers Fund (magnanimous fucker, ey?)
-
Council on Foreign Relations
-
Museum of Modern Art
-
Harvard University
-
American Farmland Trust
-
David Rockefeller Fund (again….ffs)
There are more….
Interesting snippet from one article:
Another of Rockefeller’s contributions to the RBF was expanding its international work with grantmaking that supported multilateral approaches to global security and diplomacy. This area was a great passion for Rockefeller, and not just because he was a banker who created one of the world’s first truly global banks in Chase. Rockefeller was a young man during the run-up to World War II, spending a summer in Germany in 1933 as a Harvard undergrad, just after Hitler came to power. Later, after doing his military service, he keenly followed the efforts to create a lasting peace in the aftermath of a global war. In fact, the Rockefeller family donated the parcel of land on the East Side of Manhattan where the United Nations was built….
….Under Heintz’s leadership, the RBF played a critical role in promoting a negotiated conclusion to the standoff over IRAN’s nuclear programs—a deal that, so far anyway, looks like it has a good chance of surviving under a Trump administration. Recently, the RBF announced that it would be stepping up its grantmaking in response to Trump policies, so Rockefeller’s bequest comes at a fortuitous time. The value of that bequest is not yet known, although it was estimated at $225 million in 2006 when it was first announced. It’s likely to push the RBF’s endowment over the billion-dollar mark, and Heintz told me that it could increase annual grantmaking by as much as 50 percent.

Another snippet from different article:
He recorded his income and every personal expense in a detailed ledger, a practice followed by the Rockefeller children for generations. Despite vast inheritances and trusts, Rockefeller children were raised to be frugal and charitable. The family largesse created the University of Chicago, Colonial Williamsburg, the Rockefeller University, the Museum of Modern Art and the Rockefeller Foundation, not to mention countless institutions and non-profits overseas.

Tons more digging to do, but there are plenty of crumbs here. As we know, we've been instructed to follow the selloffs and charitable foundations. Well, we have both here. And bad actors are about to receive another $500m - $1b cash injection after they receive the proceeds from the Christie's auction…. on top of everything they've received from the prior sales of his estates in Maine, upstate NY, and Manhattan.
Since IRAN is next, and the RBF (Rockefeller Brothers Fund) is credited as having played "a critical role in promoting a negotiated conclusion to the standoff over Iran’s nuclear programs"… it seems it will be important to monitor the actions of the RBF in the coming days.
MAGA on, Anons!
