Willard Whyte (played by actor Jimmy Dean) is a millionaire recluse and the owner of the (fictional) Whyte House until Blofeld kidnaps and impersonates him. James Bond traces suspicious activity back to Whyte, who resides in his penthouse apartment. According to Felix Leiter, no one has seen him for years, yet he still apparently runs his multi-billion-dollar business empire single handed.
Once the deception is uncovered by Bond, Whyte uses his contacts and funds to assist in the destruction of Blofeld's lair on an oil rig off the coast of Baja California.
The character of Whyte takes several traits from eccentric industrialist Howard Hughes such as the similar name and notably the reclusive behavior. Around the time of filming Hughes too was secluded at a Las Vegas hotel, similar to the character in the movie.
I hope you have just as much finding them as I did hiding them. If you find any of the caches along the way in need of attention, please contact me via my GC.com profile.
