Can't recommend this book about how Cornelius Vanderbilt's heirs blew his fortune enough. So well written, and full of insights about what money does and doesn't do to people. – fuente2020-07-11T01:53:29.000Z
@marshal Never give your kids the money you earned. They’ll blow it.
Read the book “The children of Vanderbilt” who somehow managed to go from one of the richest families to zero. Great book. – fuente
