Omg! I remember being in school and if you owned a pair black of Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans you were rich . 😆Back in the early 80's her jeans sold for like 60 dollars.Those were cool.

[@ryanlewandowsky2077]

Me too she was the first to introduce “designer” jeans. Followed by Jordash. What a fun memory thank you

[@karenroot450]

Yes yes yes. I was lucky and got a pair at a thrift shop! Damn did those jeans fit so well! Ahh the good ole days! Have a happy day if you can.

[@karenroot450]

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your version of Gloria’s life. You had more details. Terrible to have a mother who really cared about the Trust Fund and glamour more than her own daughter! Here’s Wishing everyone a Happy Hoppy Easter

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Calvin Kleins! Gloria Vanderbilts were a far second

[@leslieturcotte1008]

I think G. Vanderbilt created the whole designer jeans trend. I know Levi's had to fight hard to keep thier big slice of the Jean market. Although I had the money, never a fan of wearing someone else's name. Only bought 1 pair & they weren't denim. They were an eggplant purple (fave color) kind of heavy silk fabric. Wore them many many times over years, machine washed them & they still looked good! Worth every penny!

[@janeaparis]

Even with all that money, there was no guarantee of happiness. In fact, money often attracts dangerous others.

[@bethmoore7722]

With that kind of money, the question is always there. Would they love me if I had no money?

[@JE4-1]

Having all that money would be nice; I'll admit never having to worry about having enough would be nice. But having good health, a home, family and friends makes me feel pretty rich. More than ever I cherish these far more than money ❤

[@sallymay3643]

[@MsMarple]

Good for you. I’m blessed that way, too. Don’t ask for much. They call it contentment. And I don’t envy the wealthy. I often feel for them, especially the famous ones. Can’t go for a stroll without being dogged in most cases.

[@desmawalker556]

You should do an episode on her Mother & her mother's twin sister... Since they were BOTH very famous socialites; as well as Gloria's Aunt Gertrude. 🙂

[@thatgardeninggirl2864]

I live 45 minutes away from the Biltmore estate my goodness if you've never seen it it's insane.... My kids' godfather is a multi millionaire a self made man he's one of the cheapest greediest people i know and hes miserable & he's admitted all this $$$ does not make you happy

[@josiecamilo7098]

Used to wear her perfume as a teen. Never knew much about her life until watching this video. Her son was so handsome.

[@helenhamilton9561]

Wore her jeans.

[@PhDrSeuss]

​@helenhamilton956me too. Sometimes I wish I still had them.

[@lisahall7825]

I loved their perfume.. was a beautiful smell. But, I'm so sad about her life story.. rest in peace, Gloria. 😢❤

[@user-us5pv8zw3z]

I think that’s wonderful that Gloria continued to keep Carter’s memory alive for herself and her family. Why was she just supposed to move on? That’s cold.

[@unoriginalsyn]

I used to work in a job that bought me into contact with many obscenely wealthy people and I mean wealthy, crazy, incomprehensible, intergenerational wealth! I had to work rather closely with these people and got to know quite a few very well and what I can tell you....they are all severely messed up! Not one of them had anything resembling a normal childhood, most suffered horrific abuses in the richest of settings and they very much suffer from those traumas their whole lives, they literally have no reference of what normal and healthy looks like but they all crave it, they just dont know what it is 😢 really is quite tragic, I came to the conclusion their privileged lives were a curse, the price was too high

[@leslieturcotte1008]

My Dad used to say "More money than brains." Not reserved for the very wealthy, I'm afraid.

[@sharonjarvis5533]

More money mo problems 😂😮😅

[@leslieturcotte1008]

I think Michael Jackson is a good example of the problem life you've stated.

[@karenroot450]

Did anyone notice the stunningly beautiful Eyes on Gloria as a child?!!

[@flowersforthedead5182]

they reminded me of edward furlongs for some reason

[@BlackStump172]

She was a beautiful woman inside and out . She was a good person and is with her son in heaven . Her son Anderson interviewed her beautifully and let her show who she was to us all . I really like him , but not his political bias .

[@trishawilliams3015]

Love this. How about a video on her Aunt Gertrude?

[@Factinate]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@sum1has2]

@@FactinatePlease do more! Anderson Cooper lived an odd life too, with unusual restrictions “average” folks take for granted. Once while doing his talk show, someone brought up a food truck near the studio which sold waffles. He mentioned to the audience he’d never eaten a waffle in his life. The audience gasped and someone went to the food truck and bought him one. He was almost scared to take a bite since his mom had told him they were bad for him! Gloria controlled him in various ways to her dying day and his life revolved around being her personal assistant as well as the son whom she constantly judged by his late brother and father. IMHO, I often felt sorry for him; he seems naive in many ways.

[@TheDemonchy]

Why on earth is there a photo of Anastasia Romanoff in this video? Makes you wonder about the factual evidence of the rest.

[@Colorbrush21]

Jackie Bouvier was born in 1929 and went to Miss Porter's school in the 1940s. Gloria was born in 1923 and went to the same school in the 1930s. She would not have been a schoolmate of Jackie's.

[@plantsoverpills1643]

This is true. According to online accounts, GV probably went to school with one of JK cousins, Edith Bouvier, so she may have socialized with Jackie, but did not attend Porters at the same time. Unfortunately, their names are linked together as debs that attended Porters in a blog about an expelled student named Tatum Bass. Interestingly, the dates of her enrolment and graduation are not easily found. But, as she was there at 13, (born in 1924 according to Wikipedia,) = 1937+4 years=1941. That would be 2 years b4 JK enrolled.

[@kathleendobens6648]

Why say that?

[@heidibee501]

It must be a terrible thing to lose a child to death. Losing a child to SUICIDE has to be worse. Especially when that self termination is executed in front of family. I wonder what his story is?

[@tigergreg8]

I was wondering the same thing. What made life so terrible, that he didn't want to live it. See, even good looks, wealth, and things, will never ever bring happiness to anyone.

[@sandrawall8196]

Thank you. Very interesting.

[@Factinate]

NP!

[@kimsherlock8969]

I am alway glad to see someone find the love they thrived for 😊 She was a beauty unfortunately beauty still has problems with men wanting to own her like a trophy 🏆

[@spiritthingw]

She was only looking for love and acceptance, in the end she found it with her last husband. Seeing her son die must have gutted her.

[@patrickmcdaniel5185]

Money can buy happiness,it can buy you a dog, and that's the best happiness I can think of.

[@carlalamar6193]

You're right..money can buy happines and security,good food,excellent health care,wonderful vacations just to name a few things, and yes a dog too, more loyal than most people. People that say money can't buy happiness or security must have never been hungry,homeless or sick unable to buy needed medicine just provide for their family..money helps,it helps a lot...

[@loisfolk5492]

Money can buy horses and that’s happiness to me.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

Please DO NOT BUY DOGS. When you buy any animal (dead or alive) you know that mom animals are severely confined and repeatedly abused sexually. Always ADOPT NEVER SHOP. it's not just YOUR happiness that matters.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

​@loisfolk5492 please do not buy ANY animals. Adopt them do not buy and sell them like commodities. When you do somewhere mom animals are repeatedly sexually abused and miserable. Also DONT GET A HORSE TO RIDE THEM. Horses aren't here to be ridden around by humans. Have yiu seen just how magnificent FREE horses are as they ride where THEY want freely? Humans have no business riding horses and keeping them as slaves.

[@eyeseeeee]

i remember only wearing Gloria Vanderbilt & Jordache jeans till this day i still love them

[@alynneflanery9918]

and what about the creepy pics of kids in the vanderbilt pool......and all her other creepy pics...

[@purcellmandy]

What you didn't mention was that she was a high priestess of whichcraft according to Jesse Czebator. She was a very cruel evil woman according to her

[@bettinahooper5344]

Really well done. Thank you.

[@bambiprice8186]

Gloria was an absolute beauty in her younger years.

[@paulablock3202]

Even as an older woman, Gloria had an aura of beauty. I met her in the 90's when she hosted a party for my husbands uncle.

[@xenotbbbeats7209]

I was a rail-thin athletic teen with broad shoulders but my equally skinny friends and I had the joke that the only person who could fit right in those jeans were skinny 13-year-old Chinese and Jewish boys with flat behinds. Vanderbuilt jeans were not built for a girl's shape. Oddly, at that time, I was constantly mistaken for a boy for lack of hips and a small bubble butt.🤣🤣 I did enjoy her autobiography about her childhood, "Once Upon a Time: A True Story," though. I still remember her comment about her "Javanese eyes." It was a painful read.

[@SouthSideLadyWright]

I loved her jeans.

[@heidibee501]

I did too.

That was a good one!

[@donnadees1971]

I thought I had problems with my family…omg. That poor wealthy girl.

[@deborahculbertson578]

In 1981 I read “ Little Gloria Happy at Last”… about the big secret… you don’t know What the “Big Secret” is till the end… it’s how her aunt go custody over her Mother.

[@leslieturcotte1008]

I wish I could remember the comedian that said "...and there she is, putting her family's good name on every a$$ in America."

[@TommeoAndJuliet]

I feel so bad for rich people. Must be hell having all that money and no job or taxes. And all that spare time. Geez. I'll try harder to feel sorry for her and the others.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

Rich people pay huge amounts of taxes.

[@amyesxrayvision2875]

Why is the picture of Anastasia Romanoff mixed in?

[@lisamccaff9217]

[@marilynsukonick-zeff7163]

Awful...absolutely awful. What a sin that she had to experience such vile people.

[@karlenedavies6655]

So very sad. Money can't buy happiness

[@marilynrigsby6874]

Isn't she the odd Anderson Cooper's mom???

[@jesmichel]

Yes, but I don’t see how he is odd.. he surely had a hard childhood and a different upbringing than us normal people. I think he seems like he would be a good person and not rich and snobby.

Was it just me?, but was her eyes blinking in her portrait?

Shock and Awe. Giant PySCOP. ALL A SHITshow

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

Maybe it is wrong to speculate about this, but I wonder why Gloria's son did what he did. Was life that bad for him?

[@psisky]

Was he in those creepy paintings ? His brother Anderson Cooper definitely is.

[@genericrobin6597]

The woman had an interesting life. Could do without the speaker’s salacious tone. Gloria was a naughty girl?! Come on, leave the innuendo and judgement out of it! Please

[@Snakesnarl]

Why can they not pronounce “socialite?”

[@chandlerbattaile5981]

Or "tryst"

[@ad6417]

Guriam Morgan was not stunningly beautiful... She was unbelievably homely.

[@kathleendobens6648]

Glorias aunt was probably only stability. But tocut your son off before you die? Thats cold.

I believe Reggie died of a burst major blood vessel in his throat, caused by alcoholism, but not cirrhosis of the liver. Of course I could have read misinformation.

[@emmajohnson6955]

How any son do that to there mother

[@vernodemilo]

I loved her perfume. Her son Anderson is one of the few journalists I enjoy watching. His documentary about his mother is fascinating. He’s a self-made man and I’m so glad he’s finally found happiness being a dad. There’s nothing quite so humbling and stabilizing as being a hands on parent.

[@deborahculbertson578]

Anderson is such a leftist…. And in such denial

[@lorih2249]

Why didn’t you tell about her satanism?

[@sum1has2]

I hadn’t heard that but there’re paintings in the Podesta brothers collection of weird, inappropriate alleged p*rn “art” of young children at an indoor pool whom many believe one to be of Anderson Cooper, tied up. Abuse goes together with that dark circle of people, if true.

[@hoboonwheels9289]

Religion has nothing to do with this story.

[@animalsarebeautifulpeople3094]

I think her boys were sexually abused. I also think that may have been why one son jumped to his death while the other became gay.

Look deeper! Donald Trump is a compulsive truth teller..no cost is too high. This is the opinion of an imminent psychiatrist, while Biden is a compulsive liar, 🤥 no self-restriction in his indulgent nature.

[@lisamiller6694]

What a horrible thing to have to live through. You could NEVER get over a tragedy like that. But her other son, Anderson...is an arrogant know-it-all...who regularly makes an ass out of himself on the CNN show he anchors. He is exactly like every other Liberal I've ever seen or heard on TV. He's plenty old enough to know that EVERYBODY has a RIGHT to their OWN OPINION about our government. I'm a proud conservative and Trump supporter....and I've always let others have their own opinions...without automatically thinking they are "stupid", even when I was on the polar opposite side. He reminds me very much of those ludicrous women on "The View"... who use THEIR show as a "Trump bashing ad". I wonder if he's come to the conclusion that "The Democratic Mobster Party" has driven our country into the ground. And that Joe Biden and his family are all the biggest crooks that have EVER been in our government.
