Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan dies at 100

Alan Greenspan, who served as chairman of the Federal Reserve under multiple U.S. presidents, died at his home from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He was 100 years old.

His wife, NBC News journalist Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his death in a statement: "Alan passed away at our home this morning at the age of 100 from complications of Parkinson's Disease. He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes."

Mitchell also reflected on their personal relationship: "To me he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984. He had 'irrational exuberance' for baseball, the Washington Commanders, tennis, golf and music, especially jazz. He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness. Being his life partner was the joy of my life."
