You may well be correct, but I'm unable to find anything confirming it. Do you have a source?

The linked article says removing the name would require returning the money per the terms of the contract and "the hospital agreed in 2015 when it accepted the $75 million that it would keep the Zuckerberg name for at least 50 years."

Another article [0] says "[...] Zuckerberg SF General Hospital, a name the Zuckerberg-Chans bought themselves in 2015 for $75 million."

The quoted text is just a journalist trying to use a cute metaphor.

Anyway, here are two Bay Area journalists who discussed this a few years ago when this topic first came up:

Thanks for that.

I still find it curious that according to the contract, they would have to give the money back if they change the name. At least thats whats being reported.
