I would use my wealth to ban all taxidermy cat hats!
Just popped in to get some ideas. The $1.5 billion mega millions is tonight.
These palaces were absolutely not McMansions!! They were built by world renowned architects. Everyone unique, made from finest available materials. Also, they are much larger. McMansions use a lot of faux materials such as plastic cedar shake siding, cosmetic composite stone, and veneer interior woodwork. McMansions are great for curb appeal.
Always fun and informative, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Ironically, many wealthy people today live in middle class trappings, not to become an envied target. The showy ones are often mortgaged to the hilt, with debt paying for their lavish lifestyles.
Excellent presentation✨
Thank you! Cheers!
I personally would prefer the personal railroad car as my indulgence. Now THAT is traveling in style!
Everything else in current society is either the same or has evolved slightly but that happens to be the most unique too.
The taxidermy hat 💀...... ma'am, that's not cute
“…the louder, the better.” That perfectly summarizes the most expensive homes in Las Vegas. Really, who wouldn’t want to live in a city that prizes vulgar above all else?
This video would have been more interesting if the various mansions, locations, and individuals were actually identified (though many of the photos came from television, movies, and other fictional sources).
Thanks for watching. Our Gilded Age Mansions video does all of that. It features names, locations, and individuals. Feel free to check it out.

Ah yes, the Pullman upholstery of carriages. 🤗
I can't say most of these things did anything for me, but a private railway carriage would be a cool way to travel.
That foolishness still going on to day. Folks one foot in the powerhouse while they trying ot impress some one .
They did far better than the nouveau riche of today, they sought culture. America rejected culture in favor of Republicanism. It created a vacuum which naturally would be filled by people who had no reason to look to the American government or governers for refinement. The same is true today, but people who get very wealthy today just have no interest in culture and they think themselves better than those who represent culture abroad. The culture of the day is also to be charitable, and these efforts are lead by the Europeans who are born to promote culture. So, it's also representative of the times being different. European old money isn't necessarily growing or too interested in innovation, and the innovative Americans still take their ques from them, the culture is one of social charitable works.
Utility can also impress, it wasn't impractical to spend additional money for greater comfort.
Good points!
Even in Victorian or Edwardian times cutting in social status.
The idea of flaunting wealth for other people to see is insanely insecure.
I wouldn’t have bothered with the opera, but would have built a Newport mansion.
How did they clean their fancy frocks and waist coats? Wonder if they just wore them smelly.
Yachts? Whither the yachts?
Sigh, some things never change.
I might point out that Jennie Jerome marrying Lord Randolph Churchill produced Sir Winston Churchill...you may have heard of him.
hello internet using people
Wow those interiors were gawdy… I enjoy the era’s exteriors, but all that french guilted interior design is tacky. Give me a wonderful modern David Davis mansion in Bloomington, IL any day! (Victorian on suite bathroom and hot water sinks in all bedrooms with central heating built in 1870-72 called “Clover Lawn”…a museum today)
And the upkeep and help u would need to keep all that up. Fabric walls for example.... The dust!
That all well and good but that what people did back then it really isn't that relevant now? Most rich people don't want to draw attention to themselves??
You clearly don't know the purpose of this channel. IT IS about the rich of yesteryear and how they lived. SMH!!!
Old Money types usually live more discreetly. But a lot of nouveau riche still like to flaunt it. Think the Kardashians or a guy named Trump for just two examples.
You still faking till your make lol 😂 😂
gilded means caged.
Gilded DOES NOT mean caged. It denotes a thin veneer of gold over a cheap base metal. The term Gilded Age means that the shiny display of the ultra-wealthy masked the rot of society beneath it. This is 101 stuff.
Sad and nobody will like you. And they can get robbed. At Palm Beach Society is doing that at lavish charity parties.
That cat is the very worst thing I’ve seen all spooky season. 🥹🐈⬛
