Lynn Wyatt (née Sakowitz; born July 16, 1935) is a Houston socialite, philanthropist, and third-generation Texan. Her grandfather and great-uncle started the Sakowitz Department Store chain. Her husband, Oscar Wyatt, was an energy executive, the founder of Houston's Coastal Corporation—now owned by El Paso Corporation —and CEO of NuCoastal LLC. Lynn and Oscar Wyatt have four sons.
During the height of the oil boom in the 1970s/early 1980s, the family mansion in Houston was known as the "Wyatt Hyatt" becoming a "home away from home" for people including Princess Margaret, Princess Grace of Monaco, Bill Blass, Joan Collins, Mick Jagger, and King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan.
