@@Larry00000 While he had 4 adopted children, they really were not an "old money family" as the children really didn't do anything in society that I've ever heard about (not to say that Statler, himself, wasn't a very good businessman).
As a NYC native, places that bear the Astor name that I can recall immediately : Astoria, Queens; Astor Place; the Waldorf-Astoria hotel...thank you for sharing this video, it was quite interesting. I enjoy also hearing about the people behind the names of other NYC locations as well. Hoyt-Schemerhorn is a street and a train station named after the Schemerhorns, and Van Cortland Park in the Bronx.
It's not 'Old Money'-- it's Butcher Money. Which invalidates all American claims to class. Which validates F. Scott Fitzgerald's vision of all American wealth as bogus, worthy of contempt from the 1200s perspective of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Perhaps a video on America's Gardener family, who have owned the 3300 acres Gardener Island in New York state since 1639,. Lion Gardener was granted it by Charles I. The place is still owned by the family today.
Since you mentioned the name of John Jacob Astor IV who died on the Titanic, you should have gone on to note that his then very young son Vincent Astor, who was in New York City when his father died at sea, was decades later the late husband of Brooke Astor, who was validly known as the Empress of New York Society in the final years of the 20th Century!!!
And his young bride was pregnant on the Titanic. And since they were on their long honeymoon, mostly to let things quiet down about him marrying someone so young, he had not yet changed his will. Therefore Vincent got the vast majority of his wealth, leaving the new baby with very little (considering how rich JJ Astor was). The young bride never got over being on the ill fated ship and losing him so tragically. It does seem that she truly loved him. She did marry a couple more times and had two more children. They neither were successful marriages, with the last one being abusive. And she died relatively young have a heart issue.
@@christyt4249 Jakie Astor and his mother received more than enough money to keep them living like royalty. It's through the Titanic baby that the male line still exists. Brooke Astor only beceame the famous Mrs Astor because she hired a PR Agency to create her image after Vincent died. Vincent's dear sister was Ava Muriel who married Prince Serge Obolensky, whose son was Prince Ivan Obolensky.
Caroline Astor picked-up the mantle of Grand Dame from her cousin Ann Colford Schermerhorn, NY's first grand hostess. It was Ann who really created the grand society in NYC. The Astor line America still survives, the descendants of Jakie Astor (the Titanic baby) and Caroline's youngest grandson. Greg Astor and Stephen Astor are two of the very few male descendants of Caroline & William Backhouse Jr. Jackie Astor Drexel is a great-granddaughter of THE Mrs Astor.

No wonder half of the Astor family went to 🇬🇧 because of 'Ms. Astor' of America, there's are some of these Astors family lived in England and few of them are still living in America.
The Gore family might be interesting to explore for you. Most people just know Al Gore and maybe Gore Vidal but the family has been wielding power and influence for a long time.
In America it's because Vincent Astor (John Jacob IV's elder son and principal heir) left his fortune to his widow Brooke with the mandate that she give it away to charity. She did.
@@ConserveMoreShe was also the one who decided that since the fortune was made mostly in New York, the city and city institutions would be the major beneficiaries. However, she did live pretty well until her early death - at 105.
Great context. Who’s more older than astors are the schermerhorn or van courtland of which Mrs astor came from. Belonging to first set of old money American knickerbocracy descent from Dutch/English/ French Colonial times as old merchants and or landed families.
Hi Thanks. I personally had known about the Astors. Though never knew they were the first old monies. Could you document about the JP Morgan from the House of Morgan? Thanks
@@kaneworsnop1007true old money family in England 😂 dates to the tudor period lol and even then they were already knights and land owner not some servants 😂
@@PermenBoba-dq3jbOne of the Astors moved to England and due to his philanthropy became a Viscount. A lot of aristocrats hated it because they thought an American bought himself a title. The current Viscount Astor is his great grandson William Waldorf Astor III, 4th Viscount Astor
Why are you showing the characters on The Gilded Age (The Russell’s) who represented the new money Vanderbilt’s while discussing their opponents the Astors?
Yes actually jmost familys are Honest. There is very few familys who get rich by other suffering and amoral actions. And Mostly thouse familys who have been amoral are after industrial revolution.
Power is mostly situation where other people lack a power. And why other people dont have a power is mostly, couse they have given it away, they have been tricked to give it up or they sold they power for initial gain. if right now all people would be equal and have no money at all, then reality is generation later some people are richer, couse some people are more triven, smarter or even hard working. generation later some are richer, few gneration later some are far richer than other, century later we would have same situation. So there is no point to cry about it. Just we should educate people to secure they future. In right now hyper inflation alot of people have lost alot of they wealth. And some people were ready for that chrisis and secured they funds and instead of losing they gained. SO people decisions matter.

Film clips included?.. A couple are 'The Remains of the Day' with Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and Christopher Reeves, and 'The Age of Innocence' with Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer which is based in New York. Both early 90s. Also the British 2010 television series 'Downton Abbey' which continued in films. None are about the Astor family. All have a British/American cast. Unfortunately I don't recognize the earlier films. Maybe an American or film buff will know. Hopkins and Tompson also act in 'Howards End' with Vanessa Redgrave and Helen Bonham Carter (not an included clip).
Astor, alongside Guggenheim and Strauss, was also one of the three important and powerful figures who opposed the foundation of the Jewish Federal Reserve Bank (FED), which is neither federal nor does it hold any reserves, nor is it a bank in the general sense of the word. When these three men went down with the Titanic in 1912, it cleared the way for President Wilson to be coerced into signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, which holds all Americans in debt slavery to this day.
Mrs Astor reminds me of Louis XIV in regards to how she changed the etiquette of American aristocrats, much like Louis did to his own court. Both people made society more difficult and cutthroat in the name of "glamor" and "prestige".
They kind of can; families like this have signed contracts with the beast system, the shadows. They keep reincarnating into the same families to inherit and grow their fortunes. In other words the modern Astors are the first ones, reincarnated into the family over and over again. These families that control this world all do the same. It’s the same with the British Royal family. Elizabeth II was once Elizabeth I, Charles the current king was one of the previous King Charles’s. William was also a British king before. If only people knew how it actually works in this place, and for how long they have been enslaved by exactly the same shadow souls over and over again. It’s been going on since the copper age, when the first elites were formed, 5000 years ago give it take. That’s when the beast system took over this planet. The place has been under its shackles ever since
Wealth of the wicked is layed up for me they shall gather it up but I shall put it on he that by usery and Unjust gain increaset his substance he shall gather it up for me because I pity the poor they
Thank you! The fact that there are those who try to make people believe that the first Astor made 6 million on selling fur is no short of insanely stupid lol It’s actually incredibly offensive that anyone should think that people are that dumb! And specially when six million back then was the equivalent to several billions today. They do talk to us like we are mentally challenged or something, it’s crazy! The Astor’s gave huuuge karma, every single one of us; made their fortune on the drug trade, opium like you said, killing millions of people on their wake and path to extreme abhorrent wealth. These people are not from God, they serve the beast system, every single one of them, past, present and unfortunately future.
Yea the astors surely fd over so many, but hey f it do wht u gtta do i guess but shouldn’t try to make them sound so clean at wht they did. Slumplords and brutal snakes

You never knew it because it is not true. For some reson this guy beieves it is and it makes a catcthy clickbait title.
I mean how does new money become old money?
STEP 1: Get Rich.
STEP 2: Stay Rich.
STEP 3: Play Host to other Rich People.
The funny thing is Eurpoean old money families would look down on them as new money due to what is considered old money in Europe.
