The Vanderbilt Family - The Billionaires Who Went Broke

Dive into the shocking rise and disastrous fall of the Vanderbilt dynasty, the family that built New York City and essentially invented the Gilded Age. At their peak, Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt and his heirs controlled the railroad and shipping industries, amassed a fortune that would be worth $100 billion today, and built legendary mansions like The Breakers and Biltmore (America's largest private home). This video exposes the dark secrets, shocking scandals, and ruthless business tactics that underpinned their massive wealth. From Alva Vanderbilt's social climbing and extravagant balls to the eventual collapse of the fortune within three generations, discover how the Vanderbilts lost it all—spending their inheritance on European titles, luxurious yachts, and endless parties. We analyse the legacy of the "Vanderbilt Curse" and trace the lives of descendants like Gloria Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper. Learn the financial lessons from the family who went from being the wealthiest in American history to essentially broke.
