Earle Irving Mack (born c. 1938) is an American businessman and former United States Ambassador to Finland.
Mack was a Senior Partner of The Mack Company, a real estate development, investment, and management firm, and was a founding board member of the merged Mack-Cali Realty Corporation in 1997. He is active in the arts, serving as Chairman and CEO of the New York State Council of the Arts for three years, and has produced a number of theatrical productions and films. Mack has been involved in Thoroughbred horse breeding and racing since 1963 as an owner and advocate. His political involvement includes a 2016 attempt to draft Paul Ryan as the GOP presidential candidate.
Mack was born to a Jewish family, the son of Ruth (née Kaufman) and H. Bert Mack (1912 - 1992). His father founded the real estate development company, the Mack Company. He has three brothers: William L. Mack, Fredric H. Mack, and David S. Mack.
Mack graduated from Drexel University with a B.S. in 1959. He then went on to attend Fordham School of Law. In 1992 Mack was one of the first 100 alumni inducted into the newly formed Drexel 100 alumni association. He has been awarded several honorary degrees, including Doctor's of Law from Fordham School of Law, an honorary degree in Doctor of Humane Letters (D.H.L.) from Daemen College, an honorary degree in Doctor of Humane Letters from Yeshiva University, Doctor of Business Administration, honoris causa from Drexel University in 2006, and recognized with an honorary degree for Doctor of Humane Letters from Franklin Pierce University in 2016. From 1992 to 2004, Mack served as Chairman of the Board of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and was elected Chairman Emeritus in 2004. On May 1, 2008, the Drexel University College of Law was renamed the Earle Mack School of Law in light of his $15 million donation. In December 2013, a letter signed by Drexel University President John A. Fry and board of trustees Chairman Richard A. Greenawalt said Mack “graciously stepped aside as naming benefactor of Drexel’s law school." The school is now known as Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law.
