About this listen
Cornelius Vanderbilt parlayed a $100.00 investment into the largest private transportation company in the world while creating an American Dynasty in New York, Newport, Vermont, and Asheville, North Carolina. This history of his family and their lush, opulent lifestyle is filled with juicy stories and fun tidbits about their lives in the Gilded Era.

Why?
This is basically just a list of names (almost indistinguishable from each other), addresses (all on Park Avenue), who left how much to whom and random statistics about railways.
There is no depth to the stories of the people.
Even the story of Cornelius Vanderbilt who made the family's fortune is a mere thumbnail sketch.
If you want a meaningless background noise to your day, then this is just about worth the zero price tag.
