Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt by Arthur T. Vanderbilt IIMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had recently started watching Succession, but then lost interest. Watching a show about family members who happened to have inherited wealth fighting over it just didn't interest me.
For some reason, however, I found this book enthralling. So much so that I may give Succession another chance.
The Vanderbilt family spawned some very interesting characters, to say the least, as well as some unique stories.
It's also a good cautionary tale as to how not to maintain wealth over many generations.
