Imagine having so much wealth that you would only live in a space like that for weeks out of the year. A vacation house? With the staff required, huntsmen, gardeners,mechanics, stable grooms, dairy workers, indoor staff while sitting empty for three quarters of the year. Unfathomable.
Mega yachts require large crews (Paul Allen's had former Navy Seals as security) and continuous maintenance, and spend much of the year unused by their owners. And many of the newest luxury New York apartments are unoccupied.

I believe the correct number was 7. Ownership was in his wife's name.
Waddesdon was actually his weekend house, which would have meant 4 days/5 nights every week. For the rich, the weekend was late Thursday night to early Tuesday morning. At certain times of the year, it would have been lived in for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.
This still makes it an unimaginable expense, but it was effectively the main home, not a holiday home. His London House in Piccadilly was more of a pied a terre.
@pinchependejo-iy8le Not sure where you're getting your information from, but McCain owned one home. His wife, who was independently wealthy, owned several others. Donald Trump owns six, most of which are on a scale similar to Waddesdon Manor.
It was the gilded age there too. We know that nearly all of these became unbearable burdens for one reason like upkeep or another.

They are evil.
😳🤯😱
It’s profitable funding both sides of war.
It's double the profit so why not?
@@WolfHeathen Not everyone is on board with bloodshed for $$
They purchased more British bonds than German bonds.
Their ill-gotten money
@@xejelah the rothschilds are :)
The true evil.
The workmanship is amazing. The chandelier over the table in the blue dining room is gorgeous.
I thought the same thing on the chandelier.
The formal dining room is my favorite. It is breathtaking❤
That was mine too. One of the most beautiful dining rooms I have ever seen.
Videos like this just proves that people like Mel Gibson and Kanye’ West are right about “those people”….😎
I have been a fan of the more cozy and modest homes you have covered, but this one I surprisingly loved. The overstuff comfortable furniture, the cozier scale of the rooms, the color coordinated furnishings, room and decor made one appreciate the elegance and detail even more. My favorite one by far.
If it looks familiar and you can’t remember why it’s because it stood in for Haxby Park in Downton Abbey.
What an incredible home. I am so glad it's with the historic trust and will be maintained. I hope you show us more homes like this.
you can only enter if you say "Fidelio"
Where did they do the ritualistic sacrifices?
Nowhere, just wonderful parties !!!!
Bohemian grove
Live about 30 minutes from here. My family have visited plenty of times with our national trust membership and it’s fantastic!
Soooo jealous!!!. How lucky you are!!.
Same. It's my favourite NT property - I hope to work there one day.
Built on blood money
@@imissyoumom7644as was the USSR, Zimbabwe, Congo, and many other red countries
@@Arthurian. those are countries, many are that way. With Rothschild we are talking about a family not a country.
My favorite class at university was ‘English Country Houses & Gardens’ and Waddesdon was one of my Victorian favorites!
I am always intrigued by the secret passageways in thes big homes. It would be so fun to spend a month exploring in one of these
NO, they are named Rothschild. Two german words - Rot(h)=red and schild=shield. The name is because they had a red shield at their house in Frankfurt, so they are named after that.
Correct. Their name of the root family which governs the House is Bauer. The subsidiary families along with Bauer all have their origins in Canaan.
Zionist German jews. Something Nazis were too. Crazy to think George Soros emerged from poverty to being as rich
Canaanites who are from Draconians
Thank you. Came here to say this. Imagine making a documentary and not being able to pronounce the name correctly. 🤦♂️
@@michaellecompte1889 Soros and Rothchild
I’d love to have the smoking room and library. Deep wood tones and rich reds are probably my favourite combination. The entire estate is magnificent.
My favorite was the “Blue dining room”- lovely!!
All this is on top of the almost 300 items that Ferdinand left to The British Museum. When I first heard about the chandelier made of broken china (blue dining room), I thought "You've got to be kidding!" However, it works! Excellent video. Now cross the Channel to do a video on Ferrieres (Baron James de Rothschild).
Have visited this house many times. Simply breathtaking. So many homes in UK worth visiting. ❤❤
Great video.
So no tours of the dungeons and underground crypts where they perform their satanic rituals and human sacrifices I take it?
lmao...right? ...where are the goat head costumes?
Sarcasm??
That’s a pretty spectacular place. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite spot in that house but so glad it’s a national trust property. Thanks for sharing !
yeh one of their over 50 homes
Wow! The richness and the opulence blows my mind! How wonderful that it still exists. I love the dining room, sort of icy white and silver, like a huge wedding dress room. I love those stables, too, with elegant horse statues in front.
Excellent house Maison, thanks for your excellent video
The dining room was fabulous!
Great podcast as always. I was struck by the comments on indoor plumbing. As I live in the UK I had always understood that the introduction of indoor plumbing for middle-class and upper class housing was widespread from the 1860's - dependant on which town you were in. Mill towns and rural areas were often an exception. In Dundee the grander tenements were built with full indoor bathrooms during Victorian times. I would be interested in the variations in the introduction of plumbing especially indoor plumbing around the world.
I'm in love with Waddesden. Also the family art collection is TDF
Those dining rooms! beautiful
What is not to like about this house, inside and out! Spectacular and we can see how places like this where emulated in the US!
Great point! So many of the great American estates were modeled after these grand European country houses and manors.
It reminds one of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville
Vanderbilts estate
What a Beautiful work of art ❤
My all time favorite exterior after Easton Neston. Gorgeous facades!
Absolutely beautiful interior.....incomparable craftmanship
Wow. I love the house and furnishings. The gardens are spectacular. I`m staying away from all the other comments!!
A testament to the absurd inequality there is in this world.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that their estimated wealth is roughly equal to the wealth of the entire rest of the world
I would love a stable & carriage house tour of one of these properties
I stayed in a castle once while I was in France. I can honestly say that it really isn't that big of a deal. The placed smelled musty, the plumbing was weak and it was drafty. I would rather stay in a modern regular size house. You can only be in one room at a time, so having dozens of extra rooms doesn't really improve the quality of your life - it's just more of the same. Yes it's a major ego rush to point at something like that and say : that's where I live. But once the novelty of that wears off you would probably be happier living in a new home that has: good wifi, modern HVAC, new electrical and modern kitchen and laundry appliances. You also want to be around friends and family. Who wants to be in a fortress far away from everyone else and behind a wall? It's more like a prison or a lunatic asylum.
Maybe that's what they were aiming for - those fun loving psychopaths
What castle by chance? Some places were designed better for better flow of air
Visited there about 10 years ago. The cafe round the side was where I had my first taste of Parsnip crisps/chips.
I really like this one. Thanks, Ken!
I love the gardens and the exterior but the majority of the interior was way over the top for me. The one room I found pleasing was the Great Drawing Room/Music Room. However, one of the bedrooms had a lovely multicolored hanging lamp.
it appears Kitsch is truly timeless
From a beginning where they weren't even allowed to have a last name ....
not their real last name. they were the money changers in the temple that Jesus flipped over. they chose the cup to drink from.
@@shebamaree9026 congratulations you dont know the difference between the roman empire and the holy roman empire
The exterior is very reminiscent of The Biltmore. If you haven't covered it already, you should consider Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, NY.
Wow, it was very kind of them to bequeath it to the National Trust. It is the most beautiful building I have ever seen. I would never want to let it go…and they certainly have the wealth for its upkeep.
Would love a video on their abandoned mansion in Paris!
All of this was in very good beautiful taste, and In considering taste and comfort, and functionality Great view of this magnificent place 💖✅👍👍❣️
Simply breathtaking.... WOW! 😳☺️👍🥰
3:44 you all seen that door? And the maintenance on keeping this manor from rotting probably cost more than a country GDP probably
All of it is Beautiful!
It's a shame that inheritance taxes are so ruinous. At least, they had the option of "bequeathing it to the nation". Seems like extortion.
The rich pay less tax than we do. I mean me and thee, of course. The Rothschild's will be okay. Nothing to lose sleep over.
Exactly. Why should my children have to pay double tax on money that's already been taxed once? Double taxation like inheritance tax and pension tax is greed in its purest most malicious form.
@@WolfHeathen True. Similarly, why pay property taxes on a house you already bought ? It's like you're just renting. Taxes are relentless. The only way to avoid taxes is to have your own army. Or maybe, find some loopholes.
Masterpiece among the best or the best that I have seen so far.
Absolutely fabulous
The best part is getting out of that heavy interior!
Thanks Ken 😊❤
This! This is the house I never knew I always wanted!
It's all stunning. But I really loved the dining room
One of the smaller rooms, it's about twice the size of my sitting room, has an interesting light fitting. It is part chandelier and part clock, the face of which faces downwards. I lent a little over the rope beneath in order to look up at the clockface and triggered alarms. The room was suddenly filled with staff, and my face was burning with embarrassment!
I've been several times, and each time, I've noticed something different. There is simply too much to take in during one visit. The photographs do not do the rooms justice. In the photographs, they look stunning, but in reality, they are jaw-dropping.
I simply could not choose a single room as my favourite. The whole place is incredible.
I've set off the alarm myself, extending my arm to point at something.
@@oltedders glad to hear it's so well protected.
@@chemokiki the Balfour painting didnt fair too well
Pure wow!
My interests were in the fireplaces in this impressive house. Look up
Tartarian fireplaces. Then ask yourself why they would put beautiful paintings and cloth above and around heat sources.
Gorgeous home.
Which one of the Rothchild mansions that’s currently empty it was a UA-cam video of the kids. Try to get in to look around, but they got caught by security guard on a golf cart when they were peeping into the windows. All you saw was just rooms filled with furniture and paintings.
Beautiful! Happy to see you crossed the pond . Hope to see Josephine Bakers home on This House ⭐️
Would like to have seen more of that wine cellar
Automaton has the stresses placed on the second and fourth syllables, when pronounced correctly.
Favorites? The automaton elephant and exploding plate chandelier!
Still the wealthiest family in the world. Best guesstimate of their wealth is $1,000,000,000,000 dollars. That's trillion!
Addendum: they were still considered 2nd class citizens because they were Jewish.
Queen Victoria's entourage included a complete kitchen staff to prepare her meals.
Parasites
Oh wow, you can definitely see where George got his inspiration for Biltmore
A beautiful place. I loved it all. They had Great taste !
Nice 😊😊
Phenomenal!!
Make no mistake, they are still the most powerful family in the world.

well they are part of the western monarchies and establishment
And the most evil trying to take over the world
I liked the potpourri ships. I haven't seen those before
So beautiful! But the chairs don’t look very comfortable 😬
It’s beautiful I would really love to see this place it if possible thank you
There is something so ugly about the interiors of these palaces. Just doesn't feel homey at all. Feels despressing and cold.
Would love to visit. Gorgeous
who remembers this house from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
What a gorgeous home.
What a wonderful house. I thank you
I've visited this house. It is beautiful but so opulent during a time of poverty for many.
The wealth gap was even more pronounced during the baron's lifetime.
Did the wealthy peddle bibles to the poor back then too. sorry. I'm bad.😢
esp since they helped create that poverty
Only Rothschild money can do this!. Where we get to see the house with all its accoutrements INTACT!. So nice to see everything in FULL COLOR!. All the different textures and glistening bits- exactly as it was when they lived there. So much better than black and white photos of what used to be. So satisfying!!. 👍🍾👏
The grounds are what I Love. I would live in a tent for that view ❤
The front of this mansion was used in the classic British film comedy Carry On Don’t lose your head.
It's been used in many films and TV series
Garish !...........Please do the estate in the Movie "The Remains of the DAY " !
These War criminal are super rich.
Well, I grew up poor so when I see the excess of a home like this, I can only be impressed by it's grandeur, but that's it.
Not sure why but though it is beautiful, it gives me a sense of sadness as to all of the effort put into build such accomodations the owner still had just one lifetime to enjoy it. It looks to me as a great tomb for some reason.
ITS MAGNIFICENT
Aylesbury Vale were Waddesdon is located was nicknamed "Rothchildshire" due to the large number of Rothchild properties in the area. One was demolished, one was retained and two (this one included) were handed to the national trust, a charity that preserves historic buildings and gardens. It was quite common for wealthy families to donate these large homes to the national trust in lieu of inheritance tax.
In the US, this would be a dormitory suburb now.
Wow!
Night and Day in two comments.
Now THIS is beautiful….ornate but tasteful. Im sorry but this estate puts to shame most of the gaudy older American mansions we’ve seen on this channel. Thank you for sharing!
Holy crap will you LOOK at this place... wow
When you see the added note you know.
why his voice sound like the mix of joe rogan and mark zuckerberg lmao
One problem, though, given the distance to the kitchens, by the time coffee arrived in the lounge, it was cold......
people were definitely sacked
Disgusting.
This is a fabulous house!!😍 I read somewhere that Kate Middleton's family was related to the Rothschild family. I loved the whole house!
Catherine's mothers maiden name was Goldsmith but she was not from the Jewish family who are related to the Rothschilds. Goldsmith is an old English surname as well as a Jewish one
At 0:56 is my favorite picture of Baron Ferdinand Rothschild 😍and can imagine his distinguished friends and honored guests as well as his private time in quarter's centuries before this digital currency internet distastractions. His post mortem picture reveals a deep, saddened loss of his wife and child.❤ Now they all live together in a special relationship in their respectful eternal home ✝️Eternal Father I offer Thee the most precious blood of your son Jesus in union with all the Masses being said all over the world this day for the souls in purgatory 🇻🇦Baron and his family 💐💐💐 Love his hospital built in his wife and childs honor 🎖
Unbelievable 😮
