Robert Model
Robert Avery Model (born 1942) is the son of Faith Rockefeller Model (1909–1960) and Belgian Jean Model. He is the great-grandson of Standard Oil co-founder William Rockefeller (1841–1922). Model was born in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Model attended The Browning School and then graduated from Elon College in Elon, North Carolina in 1967. He is currently owner and President of Mooncrest Ranch in Cody, Wyoming.

Model honored his mother by funding and naming the Faith Rockefeller Model Center for the Arts at Elon University in 1994; however on December 5, 2002, Elon announced that "[t]hrough a complex series of family circumstances the gift simply could not be realized," and the center is now known simply as the Center for the Arts.
He is married and has three children. He was the father of the late Bobby Model, who was an internationally known photographer for National Geographic.
