His staggering fortune was fought over by his heirs after his death in 1877, sowing familial discord that would never fully heal. Though his son Billy doubled the money left by \u201cthe Commodore\u201d, subsequent generations competed to find new and ever more extraordinary ways of spending it. By 2018, when the last Vanderbilt was forced out of The Breakers &#8211; the 70-room summer estate in Newport, Rhode Island, that Cornelius\u2019 grandson and namesake had built &#8211; the family would have been unrecognizable to the tycoon who started it all.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Commodore\u2019s great-great-great-grandson, Anderson Cooper, joins with historian Katherine Howe to explore the story of his legendary family and their outsized influence. Cooper and Howe breathe life into the ancestors who built the family\u2019s empire, basked in the Commodore\u2019s wealth, hosted lavish galas, and became synonymous with unfettered American capitalism and high society. Moving from the hardscrabble wharves of old Manhattan to the lavish drawing rooms of Gilded Age Fifth Avenue, from the ornate summer palaces of Newport to the courts of Europe, and all the way to modern-day New York, Cooper and Howe wryly recount the triumphs and tragedies of an American dynasty unlike any other.<\/p>\n<p>Written with a unique insider\u2019s viewpoint, this is a rollicking, quintessentially American history as remarkable as the family it so vividly captures.<\/p>\n<p>Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.<\/p>\n<p><b>Price:<\/b> <span style=\"color:#b12704\">$0.00<\/span><br \/><i><small>(as of Feb 20, 2025 08:41:39 UTC &#8211; <span class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_disclaimer\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
