description: "Sir Stephen Fox was an English politician who rose from humble origins to become the \"richest commoner in the three kingdoms\". He made the foundation of his wealth from his tenure of the newly created office of Paymaster-General of His Majesty's Forces, which he held twice, in 1661–1676 and 1679–1680. He was the principal force of inspiration behind the founding of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, to which he contributed £13,000."
