Philanthropist, publisher and former Ambassador Walter Annenberg died at the age of 94 at his home in Pennsylvania, a spokeswoman for the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania said Tuesday.

He died after a brief bout with pneumonia.

Annenberg, who was a close friend and political ally of President Nixon, was the former publisher of TV Guide and The Philadelphia Inquirer and was Nixon's ambassador to Britain. He also was founder of Seventeen Magazine, which was part of a magazine empire that he built.

Annenberg's foundation recently gave $100 million each to his namesake schools at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Southern California.
