The Astor Dynasty — Worth Over $120 Billion, Destroyed the Moment Titanic Sank

At its peak, the Astor dynasty controlled a fortune worth over $120 billion in today’s terms, making it the first true American dynasty of the Gilded Age. Built through the fur trade, Manhattan real estate, and unmatched social authority, the Astors shaped New York long before later industrial fortunes emerged. Rather than focusing on luxury or spectacle, this film traces inheritance, authority, and decline, revealing how one of America’s most powerful old-money families faded quietly — without bankruptcy, scandal, or a final collapse.
