      Her mother, Gloria Snr, was too interested & craved fun and frolics & living off her wealthy daughter's money.
      Only when her priorities of motherhood was called into question that she was prepared to fight tooth& nail with her sister in law, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, for her rights which she lost.
      Gloria was quite the free spirit.
      You can be when you have a fortune.
      Lucky woman.😅

      That's very true, even today. The 3rd generation just can't keep it together. They lose the money, never considered getting advice from an older experienced member from earlier generations.
      And unlike Gloria Vanderbilt most never think about options to secure their inheritance.
      Too bad. Ancestors worked hard for the money they throw away.

    That’s what happens when you don’t encourage future generations to build on what you established. If they’re spoiled too much, they get lazy, unmotivated, expect everyone to say yes to everything.

    Gloria’s mother spent money allotted for her daughter on her own pleasure. Gloria Morgan already had “limited visitation” w her daughter. What the mother was fighting for was continued unlimited access to her daughter’s money. Good to get the child out of that environment.

    While I thoroughly enjoyed the script and narration, I do have a quibble. It’s the use of commercial movie clips that jarred my attention. Why not use documentation of the actual time. There must be more photos and even film from the eras referred to. The use of color film and photos of actors portraying social events somehow reduces the documentary value of this presentation. The use of clips from “Pride and Prejudice” is particularly out of place since it took place many decades earlier.
    This comment may just reflect my quirk for authenticity, but aside from that, this was quite enjoyable. Thanks.

    I think how these kids never asked to be born into such a public life. I do sure feel bad these kids.. so often they get everything they don’t need . I sure feel for Barron Trump’s childhood. May be follow his own path now that hes getting older Super rich & famous kids miss out on regular life.. I wouldn’t trade my bike riding, baseball playing, fort building mud pie making childhood anonymity for anything..

      Michelle Obama wanted to keep her daughters in their school, but she was talked out of it. Fortunately, they went to Sitwell Friends and thrived-despite all the death threats. They had pajama parties and friends-unlike Barron’s isolation at his school.

    The downfalls of such families basically comes down to a few small human nature errors one the depart from their Founders original work ethics in financial strategies number two they felt guilty for the wealth that they have been brought up in in the isolation there's such wealth created play try to buy popularity and acceptance into a normal history

    Barbara Hutton; being married so many times, at some point, one has to question the SELF… she’s still the common denominator & no one knows what exactly she’s like behind closed doors that led to divorce after divorce after divorce … except for her son & those numerous husbands. Maybe she was controlling, insecure, jealous, manipulative, to the point of being destructive … or it was the other person. Regardless, none of these men married her for the sake of her money, because they all had quite a bit of their own.

    I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for any of these ladies. A lot of a lower class people with no money went through a lot of the same issues. They didn't have money like they did to make things better, they had to suffer without. So I don't feel sorry that they have a little pain, And then they have to go into their big mansion with all their luxury to suffer. Oh my goodness, poor thing. Oh, please!

      @bar10ml44 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ms. Hutton was not selfish at all but too generous and used by people. Attention was not her goal love and acceptance was what she craved. One of her biggest mistakes was her lavish coming out party when people were broke and starving. Carry Grant was one of the only ex husbands who visited her during her decline. You obviously have little background knowledge

    Great documentary. Just goes to show that even money and prestige doesn't buy you happiness and that really does apply to the great women of the guilded age. Doesn't apply so much to the modern age where women have more of an unsightly reputation like Megan Markle who's gone out of her way to destroy the British monarchy and her own family and Kimberly Guilifoyle, who is actually not married to Donald Trump Jr. Maybe engaged but he still hasn't married her yet and I don't think he will.

    • @bar10ml44
      @bar10ml44 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The brief clip of the Titanic film was just a way of linking the lifestyle. Since wealth is the main subject it's apt because John Jacob Astor was the richest passenger on board and considered one of the world's richest men in the world. There are numerous historical clips included in this video so your petty complaining about the Titanic is not warranted
