Rich people may be human but they live in an entirely different world. Its a sight to see, from the pictures alone. The craftsmanship is the most impressive part.
A super introduction to an American saga of Alva and Counselo. More details of that amazing story in the book FORTUNE'S CHILDREN: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF VANDERBILT.
There is a replica of this home been build in Australia, Melbourne. South Yara. It is most impressive and grand home. Saleing price....40 - 45 million. When it was being sold this was asking price. Full dimension size. Not sure what it sold for.
Cooper's mother is railroad heiress-turned-successful jeans designer Gloria Vanderbilt, who, at 90 years old, is worth a reported $200 million. But Cooper is okay with not receiving an inheritance, telling Stern, "I don't believe in inheriting money.
So? It's old enough compared to many historical homes in the world. Why do people always make a big deal out of this..."my country is older than yours etc" Get over it and enjoy this wonderful architecture.

I was here, asked our tour guide what is the house insured for. She said no insurance, it's priceless.
what an astoundingly beautiful place. Just gorgeous
Thank you for sharing this. As a descendant it’s always fascinating to see what people share or aspects of their lives that they focus on.

Alva leaving her husband for their neighbor makes her sound thoroughly disreputable in my opinion.
the whole family was considered disreputable

But Cooper got $200 million, it was in news
Beautiful mansion but it is not very old when we think European mansions and castles.
