    Bunny Mellon was a fascinating person, who seemed to care about the arts & gardening more that shallow showy parties

      @@carlac9782 i just assume all of these are AI anymore. It's easy to tell most of them. A few I didn't know until there was a mistake in the script and it spelled it out or something weird😆
      edit - this one is good, but not that good the closer I listen. At least it's not offensive like some. I can listen to it.

    Richard King Mellon was Andrew's nephew, not his brother (Richard B Mellon's son).

      Better decisions and drive for success than any of us have ever put any effort into. Don’t hate the player hate the game. Hate the ones chosen to enforce the rules they create, hate yourself for choosing them when it’s apparent they don’t care about you.

    Etream Elitists many want to be like them but is Elitistsim all it's cracked up to be ? Many would like to think so and to most people's demise or worse. As the saying goes " It is often more desirable to want than to have" Once you have it everyone else wants it from you and you have to keep hold of it and get more to keep what you do have, so begins the game of high stakes use it or loose it.

      I'd take it. No matter how much money you may have you would be an outsider. These people have a century or more of connections giving them enormous power.

      Only 33 families top them and around 100 individuals.. so pretty wealthy..

      For a family that’s had money for generations when most lose it in three is pretty impressive. New money almost always had more than old money financially but they rarely keep it.
      For a family to be born into money and still have the drive to make a lot more instead of laying back and spending it all is pretty damn great.
