Two Palm Beach billionaire couples have stepped forward with challenge grants for the Town of Palm Beach United Way’s relief fund, which so far has raised more than $600,000 to help survivors of Hurricane Ian in southwest Florida. 

The latest matching grants were made by investments manager Nelson Peltz of Trian Fund Management, joined by his wife, Claudia; and Marvel Entertainment Chairman Isaac Perlman and his wife, Laura. Each couple gave $50,000.

New donations to the fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000, the United Way said when it announced the grants.
