Inside The “Old Money” Mansions of The Kennedys

[@oldmoneymansions]

COMMENT: Which is your favorite “old money mansion” of The Kennedy Family?

[@lhzook]

Whatever worked! He could have been a robber baron.

[@nathanielalgernon975]

I like Hickory Hill, majestically Federal style, in a peaceful area with lot of green grass and trees and yet not far from the action in D.C. The estate had been changed with each new owner, saw pics of the original 1870 house and it's completely unrecognizable to what it is today.

[@matthewgaydos8642]

I like the Kennedy Compound.

[@janetphillips2875]

Hyannisport, no doubt! I love the ocean! Taylor Swiftie Swift owns one of the houses along side the compound. Whooopetydoodah

[@charitooptina2463]

I love n admire all the KENNEDY MANSIONS

[@baileyreport.]

If the walls of these mansions could, we can only guess what they would say. This was a marvelous tour of an era gone never to be seen again. It was greatly appreciated.

[@mcgjohn22]

great video you put together. The Hyannis Port locale was always locked in my memory.

[@babycakes1402]

Almost like a time capsule. I'd love to tour these houses, the 'big house' especially, & yes, 'if walls could talk', well, I'd be all ears.

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

The Hyannis Port Compound is my preferred favourite with Jackie's New York residence coming second, The Hickory Hill home too clearly had immense style and elegance. I would happily move in to any or all three of them now!

[@vincentlussier8264]

Not happy where you live now? Not trying to be mean .All coastlines will be flooded in land eventually!

[@RitaBattey-yw8vk]

My favorite is the main house in hysnnisport. Nothing beats a home on the ocean. My second choice is Palm beach. Thanks for this video!

[@carolcorrigan3130]

Thank you for this wonderful tour. My favorite is Hyannisport.

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

The Kennedy’s were new money being Irish Catholic they were not accepted by the Boston Brahmins . Joe Kennedy had to leave Boston for New York because of the prejudice.

[@RatTerminator]

Never knew that

[@stevenbenson1392]

Beautifully done piece. As a life long admirer of John, Robert and Jacquiline Kennedy, I was fascinated.

[@oldmoneymansions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@francoisbundock]

I love the mansion Hickory Hills of Robert and Ethel Kennedy

[@ChristopherORourke-s7g]

My favorite Kennedy mansion is the main one at Hyannisport and the Winter one in Palm Beach,FL which is a lot more my style-Mediterranean/Spanish mission colonial style.

[@astark4077]

My favorite mansion is the last residence of Jackie's at 1040 fifth Avenue in New York city. I just love that place.

[@PeaceOfYah5775]

Hyannis Port...Just absolutely beautiful.

[@newmankidman5763]

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

Thank you for sharing. 🙏

[@rosanneshinkle4133]

Jackie did have class the way she fixed up the White House.

[@margaretlovelock7031]

Jackie was a Bouvier NOT a Kennedy

[@margaretlovelock7031]

The Penthouse was a BOUVIER residence one again NOT Kennedy

[@grrriallen7192]

They plainly stated she hired a well know interior designer. She gets way too much credit. As does her husband and his disgusting family!

[@KerrieWakeman]

Hickory Hill is my favourite mansion. I love Georgian Architecture. To have a home like that is a dream. I’ll settle for the home I do have. Way smaller than this iconic beauty. Less rooms to clean too! 😊

[@johnflynn5002]

Definitely it has to be the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport it by far the most historic. I'm from Massachusetts so I'm a little bias but when you grew up hearing Kennedy this and that you will know why?

[@grrriallen7192]

Mary Smith 9361, I lived on the Cape in the early 60s. Lived there when Jack was elected.

[@marysmith9361]

The Cape Cod Compound is my favorite of all of them. We lived on the Cape and it was interesting to see them on their way to church or out and about doing what Cape folk enjoy. Jackie had her hands full with John if he was near his cousins, totally out of her control. Those were the best days.

[@lynngregory393]

Cape Cod is beautiful!

[@BernardMayodi]

An extremely exciting piece. You don't see many families that were at the heart of a country's history who took care to preserve its history, heritage and culture. The Kennedys did it! And that more than anything else is their uniqueness.

[@noahfitzwilliam5836]

Living in a single-wide mobile home most of my childhood years, I just cannot relate.. I suppose one can always aspire and dream to succeed in life to perhaps live in such luxury, but isn't this just a testament of how it's really the luck of the draw what family you are born into?

[@Mamadukee1]

True .😊

[@kerryprzytula7]

Made their money off the devil and bootlegging. All the men were dirty, rotten, cheating pigs. The wives were foolish and no self-esteem for sticking around. I'm sure you're life was far much better. ❤

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

My favorite is the Main House overlooking the Ocean ❤

[@alienmoosestudios]

They are all so beautiful and grandiose!!! ✨😍✨ Thanks for sharing this entertaining video 🤩

[@LindaCarol-ig2ri]

Ethel thought she was going to get $25M for the place. She was lucky it sold at all considering the condition she left it in.

[@tonil.476]

????

[@wintercame]

Jack and Jackie owned Hickory Hill in 1955 before selling it to Bobby and Ethel.. (Edit: Jack and Jackie lived in Hickory Hill for barely a year before moving to Georgetown. The house was sold to his parents in 1956 who rented it to Bobby and Ethel, who later purchased it."

[@ericanderson1691]

A man who refinished my wood floors in Potomac Maryland in the 90's, told me Ethel insisted on an odd high gloss finish and then stiffed him ... his only career stiff. They always claimed they were in the Cape when he would seek payment.

[@Mamadukee1]

I have read that Ethel, with all her money had a problem paying bills 🙄

[@MaryTheresa1986]

Jack sold it in 1956, not 1955. He sold it after Jackie delivered a stillborn daughter and couldn't bear to return to the home.

[@wintercame]

@@MaryTheresa1986 Edited the year (and a detail about the title.)

[@suzyfarnham3165]

Hickory Hill belonged to Jack and Jackie Kennedy. Jackie had renovated and done the nursery but after the stillbirth of Arabella they moved and sold it to RFK and Ethel for $1.

[@MaryTheresa1986]

Exactly, and they sold it to Robert and Ethel in 1956, not 1955.

[@albertcashier6783]

Much respect to this man💪🏾✨🏆👑💯

[@nathanielalgernon975]

thank you, very interesting

[@crystalsky9512]

The Kennedy men were sleeping around like Summer flys.

[@richardmorris7063]

You best believe,the press would be all over them now.

[@juliecryer75]

Omgosh this comment made me laught out loud 😂😂😂 So true but that's funny 😁

[@tidefanz11]

But Joe took Rose off to have a lobotomy because they were scared she’d do the same and ruin the Kennedy Name.

[@babycakes1402]

I'd always heard that JFK & Jackie bought Hickory Hill first but sold it to Ethel & Bobby after Jackie lost their daughter, Arabella. Are there any videos of Ted & Joan's house on Squaw Island, or the Shriver's house that was also not far from 'the big house'? We were just in Boston, then down on the Cape back in June, so of course we checked out the 'Kennedy stuff', along with a 'drive down by the compound'. It was a bucket list item so any part of it we were able to see, we were happy with :)

[@karencarter8292]

The Hickory Hill estate --- does it date back to before the War Between the States ?

[@rosiedebevc1952]

Thanks for sharing

[@jrmitchellgallery]

I had to look up the current dollar value of the Palm Beach house in 1933, which was $110,000.00. Today, that 100k would be worth $2,600,000.00. What happened to our money? $2,6 seems right. Today, that house was just sold for $70 million.

[@axxe1531]

THAT'S CRAZY !!!

[@brendad3570]

​@@axxe1531That's PALM BEACH!

[@suzyfarnham3165]

They have been allowed to rip it down.They only had to keep gates and walls...Such a shame

[@dananderson3077]

[@stevenbrown1697]

Hyannis Port compound is the grand daddy of them all.

[@janetphillips2875]

Anyone here ever read about eccentric millionaire, Hughette Clarke? Fascinating!

[@Mamadukee1]

Yes 👍 🇬🇧

[@ginaturney7068]

I love the way Jackie restored the White House.

[@ChristopherORourke-s7g]

The Kennedy’s are new money, not old money. Old money families are the Rockefeller which own my no good Rotton birth state of New York, the DuPomts of Delaware, the Chase, Car iciest & Mellons of Pittsburgh are old money, the Hearsts of San Francisco are what is called old money.

[@SarahWildes-do9qw]

You are right, of course. However, Rose came from a well to do family.

[@SarahWildes-do9qw]

Hickory Hill was home to some very wild parties.

[@TerryB751]

Always fascinating. I wonder what the outcropping on the seawall is at 10:40. Looks like some kind of reinforcement.

[@susanlemons5414]

Today Caroline Kennedy is 66 years young and the only member of John F Kennedy and Jacqueline’s family

[@stephentaege6255]

My favourite the beautiful Florida manison with lots of Kennedy's still around why sell these properties im still in my beloved family home since 1967🤠⭐🦅🗽

[@WyomingGuy876]

Whitewashing their criminal past of bootlegging much?

[@brendapayne6603]

There was more to their wealth than bootlegging...stock market money, Hollywood profits and real estate money from Chicago.

[@john1198]

Not much more criminal than other politicians

[@catdog2706]

Absolutely beautiful lve always loved the Kennedys ❤❤❤

[@kerryprzytula7]

[@brendapayne6603]

Also real estate money from Chicago.

[@Claireanlite]

Don't forget the insider trading

[@robertafierro5592]

Gangsters. Plain and simple.

[@JoanneBerger-u8w]

And so...your point is ???

[@stevepennington9990]

I have seen the palm beach compound with my own eyes..

[@marywilliams7898]

Hyannis Port will always be the home I associate with the Kennedys!

[@stephaniebarker9244]

One of Jack and Robert Kennedy's sister married into old money. Look up Chatsworth house, Derbyshire, England. That is what old money looks like.

[@Mamadukee1]

True , I have been there many times its my favourite stately home , its about two hours away from me in Derbyshire, and Jfk sister Kathleen is buried in the family cemetery having married into Cavendish family 😊🇬🇧

[@hereswhatmyseeingeyedogsez7745]

Anyone who calls the Kennedy family "Old Money" definitely does not know "Old Money". In fact, they are not even "Dignified Money".

[@oldmoneymansions]

😬

[@janicewilliams110]

[@hugosalazar7617]

Their dad was a a bootlegger. How the family got “old money” to begin with. Along with doing gangsters of time favors allowed them to stay in political favor.

[@richardmorris7063]

I've toured Jackie's Hammersmith house & the White House just after JFK was killed. We were a stronger Nation then. There wasn't much we couldn't accomplish, some referred to this time as Camellot!

[@SarahWildes-do9qw]

Which was a term that Jackie came up with while being interviewed shortly after Jack's death, based on the musical.

[@1927su]

lol we are of “no money “ crowd.. we don’t stand out, because there are soooo many of us.

[@babydoll9282]

This is an old Story cast down through the family my family that my uncle Clifford rich husband passed away for 25 years now used to run moonshine for JFK's dad back in the day of prohibition..😊 old money old booze ..lol

[@Claireanlite]

Joe also got a lot of money from insider trading

[@GrassiHousehold]

Difference is that Joe Kennedy was never President and SEC had fewer laws/restrictions

[@Claireanlite]

@@GrassiHousehold True. Joe actually said that insider trading should be illegal or something along those lines when he and others were doing it.
