The Top 5 Richest "Old Money" Families In America (Still Wealthy Today)

[@oldmoneyluxury]

COMMENT: Which of these “old money” families would you like us to do a longer-form, in-depth history of?

[@therock-oh2yw]

THE PRITZER FAMILY

[@djskum]

Mars

[@GREGORYSCHWENDEMAN]

The Mellons

[@fiercequaker5828]

Mars

[@rdbwdc774]

Let's see a story about Jacqueline Mars' car crash, wherein she killed an elderly woman and unborn child, but the family and judge agreed she did not deserve any time in jail. How much was paid out by Ms. Mars to the family and the judge?

[@ianboard544]

One thing about the families with staying power: they don't allow their kids to be useless. They are educated and put to work with high expectations.

[@TiesOfZip]

Being educated in this day and age doesn’t mean what it used to.

[@stanleybarton]

@@TiesOfZipNot if you pay tuition so your children can get degrees in psychology, social sciences, women’s studies, etc. My father insisted I get my education in either engineering or a mathematics or a hard useable science.

[@dimitrioschatziasimiadis3352]

Same topic about European families would be amazing too🔥🔥

[@thatundeadlegacy2985]

Far more interesting tbh

[@annedenhaag3511]

The trouble is that as European old money is older (3 generations is considered new money in Europe), the old money families have fortunes that cannot be traced to one company. Their portfolios are often more diversified and a large chunk of their wealth is based on land(ownership). So their value is much harder to determine. And that is how they like it.

[@johnbethea4505]

I once worked with Nestle. I would like to hear about their founders..

[@johnbethea4505]

@rollvideo I like to reply to arrogant smart asses, so here goes with you. First of all, I am a 100% disabled Vietnam War Veteran who is a wheelchair, so it is hard for me to get off of my ass. The question that they submitted was, who we would like to hear about. My answer was the Nestlé company. I don't know what money has to do with anything???

[@henrywinterheld1773]

Good video. Would also like to point out that DuPont was also the reason that hemp was made illegal. Because it was cheaper and stronger and was cutting into profits of DuPont, they went to Washington and paid enough money to politicians to have it made illegal so they could boost their bottom line. Way to look out for the little guys

[@michaelcoleman6228]

How about the Van Rensselaer family. I understand that at one time they lived on the interest on their interest.

[@sjs928]

THAT is real old money … 1700s . A member at The Everglades Club in Palm Beach , Edwin “ Morley “ Milbury was a descendant with that as is middle name . His wife was Cassandra King Mellon … they were super nice , and I didn’t really know what their history was til later . All I know is he was kind and would have me supervise his parties in his “ apartment “ , and greeted with “ Stephen my Lad ! “ Truly one of a kind .

[@cathykrueger4899]

I would love a video about the Krueger family of the Krueger Brewery in Newark. Enjoyed this video and look forward to more.

[@MarkSilverman-y7l]

Fascinating to watch. Please produce more about the next five wealthiest old money families.

[@Pharaonin62]

Strong families. Nice to hear something about them. Thank you for your documentation.

[@therock-oh2yw]

HEY YOUR NEXT VIDEO DO IT ON THE OLD MONEY BUSCH FAMILY OF ANHEUSER BUSCH

[@scottsandmeyer]

Being familiar with Cargill holdings in Florida, perhaps some reporting on the land usage of these ultra-high net worth families.

[@barbarawilson8424]

Enjoyed all but the music was a bit too much. (banging on the piano jazz) Also, too loud.

[@TheMostBeautifulChannel]

Very well researched, and magnificently narrated.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Thanks!

[@richardcarson7094]

The narration is fake. AI generated.

[@TheMostBeautifulChannel]

@@richardcarson7094 & what's wrong with AI generated narration? Narration is more about the arrangement of words and rhythm of of thought, not the voice! They might have as well used your very natural and boring voice, but the narration would still be top notch. You should know better.

[@franciscodanconia4324]

Except for the part where the AI says Ed Johnson was President of Fidelity in 1943, before he bought it in 1946, which he then shepherded through some sort of imaginary post WWII Great Depression.

[@jermainemuchali8559]

Kindly do The Koch Family old money history mini documentary

[@amuiquaye2976]

Thanks for producing such powerful videos

[@RobertCHRoy]

Some past dynasties like Mellon and Carnegie would be fantastic.

[@KCCardCo]

The DuPont's also married within. First cousins married each other and it preserved the wealth on both sides.

[@chiendinh-je2xi]

So their families have shorter life expectancy

[@BayTampaBay]

More on the Hearst Family.

[@yashsansaroje879]

What about Cox family

[@therock-oh2yw]

ALSO DO SOME VIDEOS ON EUROPEAN OLD MONEY

[@jeffzawislak1737]

The funny thing is as if Cargill. ever went public. They'd be 3 times the size of the Mars family.

[@Nuzzyy23]

Try to do about south East Asian families too 😊

[@catcitycover]

Really funny that in the bio of John Mars they use a picture of Sheldon Adelson and in the bio of the Cargill’s they use a picture of Lilliane Betancourt.

[@chiendinh-je2xi]

Sheldon Adelson donated $150M to Trump campaign

[@tannyschristy8912]

Native Americans and Métis. Love your podcasts. So interesting ❤❤❤

[@cynthiaherting1044]

How about Goodyear and Goodrich both from Akron, Ohio! Thanks

[@csabaspottle4765]

I'd like to see more on the Johnson Family. Thank you. Csaba Spottle

[@franciscodanconia4324]

Uh how was Edward Johnson president of Fidelity in 1943, 3 years before he bought the company in 1946. And what Great Depression happened in the late 1940s?

[@oldaztec]

you can be the president of a company and not own it. lots of businesses practice this today. private equity holding may buy a buisness, but keep president and vp, which they would report to a board, on which the owner(s) sit.

[@morrisgarage8887]

Superb and professionally made documentary.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words!

[@JM-gu3tx]

The Keswick family founded Jardine Matheson conglomerate would be interesting to hear about.

[@jonesmugambi7704]

an indepth of the cargil family would be great

[@sabpublications4940]

Strategic generational planning carefully crafted in financial prudence has ensured generational wealth.

[@ChonisTrading]

John mars picture is actually Sheldon Adelson

[@wdm5552]

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. How could this even happen?

[@traviswiggins864]

Didn’t say anything about cargil phosphate mining in Florida which got bought out by mosaic

[@uom07DUd]

Hey, what about the Koch family? And their branch in Turkey?

[@stanleybarton]

Manufacturing and Retailing doesn’t insure generational wealth. Banking and Financial Management does.

[@Davey-TheDJ]

Question did the Mars family that owns the candy bar they create a grocery store in Maryland called Mars?

[@mousemd]

I know that I am not related to that family. Maybe very distantly. My great grandmother married a Johnson. The other 3 grands were of French lineage

[@junehanzawa5165]

Very poor list. Clearly not an American putting it together. The Vanderbilts (they still have more money that most realise when combined), the Rockefellers, the Johnsons's of the pharmaceutical juggernaut, just to name a few from the top of the head, are older and still richer (when combined) than a couple listed here. That's true Old Money from the 19th century, not less than a century like the Mars and Fidelity's family money. If you're going to use 20th century families like the Mars fortune family, then you'll have to include the Waltons and the Kochs and Lauders and Busch's and even the Gates and the Jobs, etc. I realize that America is not very old, but it's still older than a single century.

[@maryroberts2099]

Anderson Cooper inherited $200 M from his mom. Not chump change

[@chiendinh-je2xi]

Isn’t Vanderbilt already broke

[@TheStevenstein]

Do A Video On The Phipps Family

[@EaglesLair27]

The picture of john Mars is a total mistake. It is the picture of the late Sheldon Adelson owner of Las Vegas Sands Corp.

[@JamesOToole-k1e]

Would you consider the walton’s

[@afrock1000]

Are you sure John Mars is not depicted as Sheldon Adelson?

[@marcbaker2240]

What about the Rockefeller family. They are an old money family that is worth more than the 5 families that you talked about together. Why were they not included?

[@jeannemara1600]

Cut the background music, it adds nothing but irritation.

[@Cooperhowz3Cooper]

Didn't it used to be Johnston? I met one of the Johnsons once. He said it was "Johnston."

[@hoboonwheels9289]

I don't envy them, what good have they done, for the world, with their money? No one should be homeless or go hungry, if they were using their God given wealth properly.

[@kevinchambers1101]

It's not their problem nor their responsibility. Your tax dollars are supposed to take care of it, and as you can see, our politicians are the ones failing those in need.

[@GraveDigger7045]

Hundreds of thousands of well paying jobs isn’t enough?

[@skyflower7]

Self made vs old money. I'll choose to the first one everytime

[@haveyouseentheone]

Although, all the old money were self made at one point and have held onto it. I think the interesting thing is seeing it built and being able to sustain it for generations.

[@martinjohnwotherspoon6244]

How about the Parry-okdens

[@geoffgray641]

Marriott!

[@femaleprofessionaldriver7650]

Think how much happiness the Mars family has created with their delicious variety of goodies! 😋

What about the Ford family.

Ford stock is failing miserably. They will be taken over by global operators like Toyota. Ford squandered their money.

[@marieaudekika2934]

What Liliane Bettencourt has to do at 18.16 ?? She is a French multibillionaire

[@johnshields3658]

When you've got photos of the founders, then I'm not sure any of it quantifies as 'old money'.

[@Sandhoeflyerhome]

This seems to be narrated by Patrick Allen RIP an acquaintance.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Or his Ai pal

[@superhutts5326]

What about the Waltons?

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Not quite “old money” yet but they are the richest family in America

[@Dividendflywheel]

Perhaps they will qualify 9 generations after Sam Walton. Sadly we might not be around then

[@alfonsosalazarestrada6091]

The Waltons are new money, they're certainly vrey wealthy, they're not old money.

[@somecallmeviki7760]

I hear Jim Bob did okay for himself. I'm not sure about Grandpa, Elizabeth, or the rest. (I am aging myself here, and this will likely make sense to nobody. Had to do it, though, lol).

[@notheotherklaus]

Too much like an advertisement.

[@LAWandCoach]

Where does Patricia Hearst fit in?

[@triple6758]

I thought we were gonna hear about former plantation families.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Many of these families (such as the Hearsts, the Mars, etc.) gained their wealth after the abolition of slavery, and many "old money" families in the U.S. including the Rockefellers and The Huntingtons were abolitionists themselves

[@peaceloveandunderstanding]

They need to pay their fair share in taxes.

[@BehindTh3Mind]

Do you want a challenge? I see you still did not have the bravery to make a video about truly shadowy families, the real shadow-masters who have roots back from Roman times and whose wealth is measured not in billions, not even in trillions but quadrillions of dollars, amounts imaginable to mere mortals. One such family disguise themselves today as "centuries old wine producing family" and their name in Frescobaldi. However, in reality they are at least 12 centuries old banking family who financed most of the wars in Europe in the past ten centuries and who today have Rothschilds and Windsors in their pocket. You really won't find much about them on google but if you truly are good in your researches, you can still dig up many things about them.

[@boombox05]

If they were this big a deal they'd be all over the internet. There's no hiding these days.

[@BehindTh3Mind]

@@boombox05 on the contrary.

[@shebamaree9026]

it goes way farther back than the roman days. its the bloodline of the pharaohs.

[@Caterina...3]

The Rockefellers, Mellons and Carnegie's aren't wealthier than these families?

[@oldmoneyluxury]

No, not anymore :)

[@user-mad7max11dystopia]

You really have to be stupid to lose an inherited fortune in this country. Invest in land, stocks and businesses that have bright futures and live within the interest amounts the old money earns. Diversified investments in the worlds largest economy will keep you wealthy if you were lucky enough to be born on third base. It’s the ones who look around and think they hit a triple that make me sick.

[@earldriskill3505]

The narrator said, Regarding the Dupont family, "With a lineage of lucre." I never heard money phrased that way but it was kind of 😅😅😅. Hollywood actor Orson Well's movie, Citizen Kane was supposedly based on the life of William Randolph Hearst. After Hearst realized this movie was a parallel to his life, he went after Wells and had him effectively blackballed from being able to make movies in Hollywood, at least for awhile at one time.

[@TiesOfZip]

Umm… glorifying the Hearst empire is pretty shitty, tbh, considering the type of mean George and William Randolph were and the shit they did. But I guess that can be said about most of these families, George is just kind of on another level.
