Macarthy died childless and his substantial business interests were put into a trust for educational purposes.^[2] When prohibition was an issue in the 1920s, the trust's continued maintenance of his brewing business was attacked by Robert Stout.^[1]

In 2012, Macarthy was posthumously inducted into the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame.^[3]
