Okey.cubralo..😅

[@Pharaonin62]

I didn't know so much about The Mellons. So I learned a lot today. Thank you for your interesting documentation.

[@betsyavallone4314]

I attended school with Matthew Mellon. He was always a sweet, sensitive soul. RIP Matthew.

[@Suetvvlogs]

there are many old money families that live low-key lives you barely hear from round the world! These families, unlike the rockafellers and the Vanderbilt who live to flaunt their wealth and power! live in the shadows of their countries they helped foundings! these are the real power in their respective country!

[@Mr.Cash66]

Two homes on cape cod. One on Nantucket and one in Osterville. My dad worked for Bunny in Nantucket and I worked for her and Paul in Osterville. Very nice people

[@10laws2liveby]

Say what you want about old money, but the insistence on education, manners, and values, is certainly the guidance signs along the road to success.

[@squiglees]

Unless you're a sociopath, I immediately call their "values" into question based upon the way they maintain their wealth. I also would point out that it's very easy to be a "success" when you're starting at the finish line from birth....

[@MakerInMotion]

​@@squigleesThere is a head start in their family connections getting them in the door at any university or company they want. But people talk like if only they had an inheritance they could have built an empire too. We know what happens when regular working class people get rich because of lottery winners. They blow the money and end up in rehab. So yes they are privileged, and hell no you couldn't have turned millions into billions like they did.

[@davidglad]

@@squiglees You're right. Usually the patriarch has to be as relentless as they are ruthless in amassing a fortune. Only later do they care about posterity. Although holding/potentially expanding the wealth across subsequent generations tends to be Mission Impossible. Even if on the surface it looks like victory laps or merely under-spending your income and only occasionally taking big bets with the fortune.

[@XiUNOiX120]

Yea and ROBBING the people with your Position in Power😂

[@corneliusjones989]

If possible, a video about the Warburgs would be greatly appreciated

[@wendypatterson6091]

Money of this scale brings with it immense responsibility. People really do not realize that they are less free than mid classes. However, with the money issues resolved for them, they have the available space in their lives to worry about the arts or education and the environment. The lower classes spend their time in pursuit of money enough to live a life of some comfort and be able to retire.

[@jmcfintona999]

The Mellons orginate from the outskirts in Omagh in Northern Ireland. The family actually bought the tiny Village of Old castle and turned it into an immigration theme park called the Ulster American Folk park. You can stay at the Mellon country Inn which isnt far away, the old preyespetrian church they attended is near by.

[@CedricSmith-un6vm]

Amazing. Wow now I know where Chevron comes from Gulf oil, I was wondering about that for a few days, thank you. I love watching this documentary, about the Mellon family this is my first night learning about them.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Thanks so much Cedric, we are glad you enjoyed it

[@CedricSmith-un6vm]

@@oldmoneyluxury Your welcome, I loved watching it.

[@tyreedillard]

Please do a profile of French old money Louis-Dreyfus Dynasty and the UK Swire family, founders of Hong Kong and London conglomerate The Swire Group, and Swire Pacific

[@eploy2004]

In the US please consider the Byrd, Cabot, Carter, Griswold, Harrison, Lowell, Tayloe, Van Avery/Van Every (from Dutch nobility to American old money), Van Rensselaer (from Dutch patroons to American patricans), Forbes, Hartwick, Van Leer and Whitney families.

[@BOEHHO89]

Paul Mellon also raised race horses on his Virginia estate .

[@superfleapilot7484]

Tim Mellon was also a pilot and involved in the third and final iteration of Pan Am World Airways partnering with his brother in law David Fink. In addition to flying the B727 with Pan Am Airlines he owned and personally flew a Citation 501 and Piper Tomahawk that both shared the same family crest inspired Blue paint job with a red sash.

[@EngineerDJ_Julius]

great story and video the descendants are like a military dynasty, all aiming for high ranks

[@cedricsmith8188]

This is awesome to learn about, thank you.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cedricsmith8188]

@@oldmoneyluxury Thank you.

[@pamelagunn1820]

I actually work at the Ulster American folk park, and interpret Thomas Mellon’s life at his original cottage. This was a very interesting and informative video, thanks for posting, it will add to my interpretation now at the museum.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Very cool!

[@abr7192]

Excellent content. Would be great if you could cover the S.C. Johnson family. Thanks!

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Great suggestion!

[@headishome8452]

I find that adoption, education, arts, finance, land preservation, a wonderful mix. Banking and political pacs, not much so. Wonderfully diverse interests, though.

[@RyanMayer]

Great video (as always)! Some families to consider (apologies if I missed you already featuring them): Mars Family, Brown Family, Busch Family, and S.C. Johnson Family.

[@davidglad]

Audiobook on the Busch family was great.. and has all the gems you probably wouldn't hear on yt

[@nordicvolkan]

If interested do one for the Coch Family (Charles Koch and David Koch)

[@justmeonthebeach]

Many years ago, I almost got a desk job at the Bank of New York Mellon in Belgium, I passed the written tests and interviews, until there were only two of us, but... I worked at the embassy instead...

[@mryan4719]

You forgot the part where Mellon, Carnegie, and Frick built a country club and insisted, against the urgent advice of engineers, on the construction of a dam that eventually flooded, killing thousands of their own steel workers and their families downstream. They later thwarted several legal attempts to hold them accountable for the tragedy.

[@betsyavallone4314]

You should do a video on the Pulitzer family.

[@bbybella9937]

Do a video about the aristocratic Cavendish family of the UK!

[@teresaboullemet2709]

Would like to hear about the Carnegie family.

[@levertmalatji-oj9ok]

Much love from south Africa.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

🇿🇦 Cheers! :)

[@TanyaM-yp7gk]

This family appears low key, highly influential, honorable in so many ways that such wealth can distort in truth or by false rumors. I can only imagine causes to execute to shape future generations if I had access to such wealth, influence among those who seem so principled. Ideas that could actually happen, I can only imagine being so blessed. Every family has a less than honorable member, if the "'King' Hale" likeness is the only exception, it's no detraction from the appearance of their overall honorable legacy.

[@sfbadboy]

no mention of 1913 federal reserve and IRS

[@MammaBird87]

Read "All the Presidents Bankers" by Nomi Prins. She talks about all of that and more.

[@gardengirl7446]

Bunny Mellon is fascinating do a focus on her please ❤

[@darkisland04]

[@stellamaxwell777]

Excellent commentary, although the images don’t match the narrative (especially in the property scenes)

[@LIZARD.KILLER..]

The Haldeman family would be interesting.

[@HOHLfmly]

Timothy Mellon lives in Pittsburg and gives his money to Trump, RFK Junior and Republican Congressmen! Wants to build the Border Wall so he gives heavily to Greg Abbott! Timothy Mellon’s self-published 2015 autobiography, Timothy argued that “expanded social programs have only made Black people “even more belligerent.” the rise of an American “aristocracy of wealth,” which, Jefferson believed, posed more “harm and danger, than benefit, to society.” The wealth and power extending from Thomas to Andrew to Paul to Timothy Mellon proves Jefferson exactly right.

[@MammaBird87]

I've been learning about Thomas Jefferson lately. You're right! I just wish more people listened to him instead of calling him crazy because of his distrust of Alexander Hamilton. We need to bring Thomas Jefferson's ideals back into normalcy by reintroducing the Declaration of Independence to modern society.

[@frannyjettie]

The photos of what is supposed to be the interior of Bunny and Paul Mellon's NYC home don't look like Bunny's style. I don't think those are correct.

[@ZarpSterr]

Please....the Rockerfellers are worth TRILLIONS. So are the Mellons, and the rest of their kind. Billions is what they spend on Entertainment. Billionaires polish their shoes.
