Who says he bought it?  Some people did buy titles as it was the only way 
they were going to get them.  As well as being a successful industrialist 
Nuffield donated 30 million Sterling (those values, not today's) to 
charitable causes.  He was created a Baronet in 1929, Baron Nuffield in 
1934, and a Viscount in 1938.  He didn't die until 1963.
