William A. Wrigley III, known as William Wrigley, (January 21, 1933 – March 8, 1999) was president of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, founded by his grandfather William Wrigley, Jr. from 1961 until his death from pneumonia in March 1999. His father P.K. Wrigley preceded him as president. He was succeeded by his son Bill Wrigley, Jr. as president and CEO. He inherited ownership of the Chicago Cubs in 1977. Only a few months later, his mother died, saddling Wrigley with a massive estate tax bill. Most of his money was tied up in either the Wrigley Company or the Cubs, forcing him to sell the Cubs to the Chicago Tribune in 1981 to pay off the tax bill.
