When posters talk about wealth, don't forget to take into account inflation. One dollar in 1912 was the equivalent to $27.43 today. So if Astor had $2000 on him when he died, that's almost $55,000 today.

[@wheelmanstan]

It's very interesting in who survived and who didn't. Men in second class had an 8% survival rate, as low as it gets, lower than 3rd class. Then you see only 50% of 3rd class children lived. More male crew survived than male passengers and female crew had a 91% chance of survival. The crew knew to get their butts on those boats and STILL they weren't filled to capacity. They were basically a little over half full and only started loading people 30 minutes after firing rockets which was an hours after impact. They never even loaded 2 of them, one only had 12! It was supposed to have 12 more boats but they thought that would add clutter. Nearly all passengers could be saved with the 20 it had, with 12 more possibly 600 more could be saved. They got more people off the rolling Lusitania in 18 minutes than Titanic could get off in 7x that amount of time. Crazy.

My great grandfather Albert Horswill was a Titanic survivor. His lifeboat only had 12 people on it and it held 40. He was a crewman ordered into lifeboat one by Officer Murdoch, the Duff Gordons were also on his lifeboat and were falsely accused of bribing Albert and others to not return to pick up passengers in the sea. This was an outright lie, just like the narrative that these lifeboats were under filled because of crew incompetence. His lifeboat, the one with 12, was blocking the larger lifeboats that held 65 instead of 40. It was also on the less populated starboard side where passengers did not believe the ship was in danger and refused to board. Murdoch thought it was better to lower the lifeboat away with 5 first class passengers and seven nearby crewmen as opposed to lowering it away with NO ONE.

And if you are in favor of a class system, what Harolyn was talking about in the first place, then you're "supposed to be" in the "wrong country", the U.S.... unfortunately it's not so much at all anymore so that wealth is more evenly spread among the population with a robust middle "class."

John Jacob Astor should have packed an inflatable life raft in one of those trunks he brought with him.

he had $2,500 dollars with him on that last night . Can you imagine that much money in those years? when you could buy something for a cent or half a cent. my mother was telling us...

jay bone who wouldnt....? :)

[@jessiejames7492]

Thomas Johnson really? thanks. but $2500 is something but isnt much in todays worth

[@ericmcclain1869]

John Jacob Astor didn't just have 2500 bucks on him. He had 3 different currencies on him. He had $2500 USD, $2000 UK pounds, along with some other currency. They also found a huge diamond ring on him, gold belt buckle, gold money clip, and a diamond stick pen for his tie. The dude was literally ballin' while he floated lifelessly in the ocean.

[@mujjuman]

None of that mattered when he died, and none of it saved him from death. None of it will be of any use to him after he died too. Interesting how life is

I still can't believe that the Titanic sunk. Truly an amazing ship but that iceberg was no match for that big ship.

I remember his character in the movie. I guess they didnt have children, or maybe they did, but he put his wife and children in the boat saying Ill see you in the morning to comfort them.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Astor has 2 children from his 19 year marriage and a pregnant 18 year old bride- only the unborn son was on the Titanic . Mrs. Astor got in the lifeboat with her maid and nurse while pregnant with his second son “ Jakey”!

The first conspiracy of the 1900's. Funny how good ol JP got off just in time. Funny how JJA was against the FED and could have shut it down. Jesuit captain went down with his ship tho, but they did plant explosives in case he changed his mind.

[@MsLivingston7]

+Mark Dykstra I over the years have read from several sources that the ship was already damaged when it took off...that the sinking was planned because of some of the notable people on it. Google it.

I have been to John asters house it's so cool and the wallpaper was coming off of the walls and 4 year old children were disrespectful by jumping on everything and sadly they are renovating the second half of the mansion. I went there for a photo shoot and felt terrible when I even had so sit on the couch. Things seem more interesting to me when things important to history are left alone and untouched then that means if nobody when to john asters estate everything would have been the exact same way before he left for the titanic.
