- In 1999, Steve Kroft profiled Robert Gardiner, an 88-year-old aristocrat in the Hamptons, who was one of the most eccentric people ever to appear on 60 Minutes. In 2011, producer Frank Devine described why the story was one of his favorites.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Looks like he passed in 2004 and they inherited the entire island. No developments yet - the niece is a forester enthusiast.
Thank you for that information. I am glad the island wasn't sold to greedy, frothing developers. Wouldn't it be a slice of Heaven to own the island and be at peace during the summer months.
I thought he should have have gave it the Federal park service as national wildlife refuge. But if they are maintaining it as is that's fine.
Good to know' glad to hear it. :)
@@writerconsideredHe couldn't have given it to anyone as he doesn't own it, the trust owns it.
This makes me happy it's still wilderness
Gardner's Island is simply wonderful. I'm so sorry it can't remain pristine, or nearly so, forever. A priceless jewel, a priceless treasure. Loved this video.
I could sit and listen to him all day. Wow. He’s a treasure.
I grew up on eastern Long Island. When I was young, my parents had the opportunity to visit Gardiner's Island. (Gardiner had been asked to run for office, and he invited a group from that party to see the Manor and Island.) They were shown around by Robert David Lion Gardiner himself. I didn't get to go because he didn't want kids under a certain age there (12 when I was 11, or 14 when I was 13). I was a mature and quiet kid, but we played by the rules....only to find out that one of the other guests had brought a kid younger than me. My mother was pretty mad about that, and I have been sorry for over 50 years that I missed out on a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Favorite tidbit from the visit: Gardiner and his sister were at odds with each other, but each had rites to the house. There was a single coveted dining room that each claimed for their own. Solution: Split it right down the middle, visually, with each half being decorated differently, from the walls and furnishings right down to the table settings and decor.
The receipt made me laugh pretty hard. This guy was great!
He sees a legacy of family history and his family sees money.
Him screaming at the mic is hilarious
"they burnt the manor house down " !!! LOL
Such history! Wow thank you for sharing
😂😂😂 miss old hiefers like this guy ... i have the patience for it. 😂
The East Coast rich man's accent. Mid Atlantic.
Given his niece was a professional forest conservator, and her then husband the (now) late Robert Goelet was a past President of New York Historical Society, President of Museum of Natural History, President of Wildlife Conservation Society, I don’t think developing it into housing estates was likely top of their agendas…
All very Bleak House…
No, but when they won't commit it to a legal document, you gotta wonder.
@@markw999 I’m assuming they figured that just waiting out his demise and getting 100% ownership under the terms of the trust, by not agreeing to legally binding covenants then they maximised their future tax write downs.
So yes, greed definitely paid a part, but not with the intention of stuffing up the island, but maximising their tax benefits for future generational wealth increase. The island is obviously land tax exempt, but by not being “protected” will still count as “worth” a billion plus as a tax write down against any other “bad” (for them) tax positions they may want to unwind in the future.
Hope it stays as is.
Where is the follow up? This was done in 1999 when Robert was 88 years old. Obviously he has died in the 25 years since. When his relatives got a hold of the island, did thy develop it or just turn it into their own private retreat?
My grandparents bought a summer place out there when my mom was in HS. Would sit on Gerard beach with clear views of the island. ☀️
I’ll enjoy reading his obituary.
He's deceased.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Amazing Man.
8:50 that computer.. State-of-the-art circa 1999😅😅😅😅😅
Time flies by and then not...
The value of some things can't be measured in dollars..
That's hilarious he had no heirs, yet found ancestors endlessly worth celebrating.
Was the island ever developed?
Nope, the Goelet family has kept it the same since his death in 2005 or 06.
@@brettj.m.roebuck17 thanks 👍
@@brettj.m.roebuck17 ❤
Worth $1B in 1999. Who knows what its value would be today. Unreal.

@@jtrain5615 I'd bet someone would pony up 5b for it.
5 billion? Try $15 billion when you consider the net worth of the top .01%
@@BroDudeFun Hard to know. It's an exclusive enclave in the midst of an exclusive enclave. Hopefully it stays a nature preserve.
I really hope 😢 this place as been left alone they way it is I this video
All I saw was a great place for Deer Tics and Lyme disease. It started around here.
He’s got receipts 😂😂😂 he’s not messing about.
God bless him and his island.
RG, a loveable looney!
Who gets the property tax off this dirt?
l see a casino with an adjacent airstrip. And that's just for starters!
🤦he absolutely does not sound like a nineteenth century aristocrat! He doesn't even sound English! Of course he sounds American, being one and why they put up with his rudeness is quite beyond me. Being the heir to such a fortune obviously meant that people spoiled him, but he's playing up to it too. The voice over is extremely irritating,why can't they let the man speak for himself instead of interpreting him for us. Did Gardner really admit to having 'screaming matches ' with his family?
His accent and speech pattern was very similar to Little Edie Beale's.

I hope some how the island gets set aside as a national park
He was camp as Christmas 🦄🌈

So much of what you said was incorrect. I'm quite certain that you lied on 60 minutes to try and claim a piece of real estate that is not yours. The people at 60 minutes turned up pretty bad. A bunch of them are going to lose their heads.
How sad if it was developed 😢
Really interesting, I know the island from along shore, I’ve always respected the limits, but this guy is insufferable.
I’ll have to listen in small doses.
I’ve visited churches in the Netherlands where the voyages of Bloch were subscribed.
Altogether an interesting era.
I hope the gruellete dont have the island.
I eat gruel. How cruel .😮
He is annoying and neurotic.
Insufferable affectation. Kudos to Steve Croft for putting up with this self-indulgent nonsense. Tax the rich and keep this island forever wild.
I agree!!!
This mfr thinks he is a Royal...mixed up dude...more like mr burns
"Gave us the island" that belong to the Natives. If I have that much money, I would buy the island to maintain it as historical land.
