Wellington R. Burt (August 26, 1831 – March 2, 1919) was a lumber baron from Saginaw, Michigan. At the time of his death, his wealth was estimated to be between $40 and $90 million ($1.3 billion in 2019 dollars). For a time in the early 1900s, Burt ranked as one of the eight wealthiest men in the United States. He was best known for his lumber mills and timber holdings, but was also involved in iron mining, railroads, salt mines and finances. Burt was a politician, holding the offices of Mayor of East Saginaw (1867–68) and member of the Michigan Senate (1893–94). In his final years, he lived alone in a mansion with his servants. Estranged from friends and family and nicknamed "The Lone Pine of Michigan", he officially died of "senility" at age 87.
