Hearst, like his brothers, worked for the Hearst Corporation and was said by some to have the most executive talent among the sons of William Randolph Hearst. Any question of his rivaling the non-family executives who constituted a majority of the trustees of his father's will, however, was rendered moot after he died of a heart attack aged 49, whilst in the Virgin Islands.[1]

Hearst married Gretchen Wilson (who later married Woolworth Donahue (Jesse (Woolworth) Donahue's son). Hearst left four children, including John Randolph Hearst Jr., a company executive and director who represented this branch of the family among the trustees,[2]
