That’s what happens when you don’t encourage future generations to build on what you established. If they’re spoiled too much, they get lazy, unmotivated, expect everyone to say yes to everything.
GV jeans were and are the best! I wore nothing else but GV jeans for over 15 yrs. I hv since branched out and wear other brands, I still wear(they later came in all kinds of colors) and love her jeans!
Nice, but don't kid yourself, they are still rich. they can't afford to build houses like those due to the high rate of taxes, but they still are rich...
While I thoroughly enjoyed the script and narration, I do have a quibble. It’s the use of commercial movie clips that jarred my attention. Why not use documentation of the actual time. There must be more photos and even film from the eras referred to. The use of color film and photos of actors portraying social events somehow reduces the documentary value of this presentation. The use of clips from “Pride and Prejudice” is particularly out of place since it took place many decades earlier. This comment may just reflect my quirk for authenticity, but aside from that, this was quite enjoyable. Thanks.
The downfalls of such families basically comes down to a few small human nature errors one the depart from their Founders original work ethics in financial strategies number two they felt guilty for the wealth that they have been brought up in in the isolation there's such wealth created play try to buy popularity and acceptance into a normal history
Non of these women were even close to “Beautifull” it was all expensive clothes , good photography and make-up …..and the occasional cosmetic surgery procedure
I think rich or poor, disfunction in families is disfunction, if she wasn’t wealthy nobody would know . I do remember many gals really liking GV jeans back in the day
I think how these kids never asked to be born into such a public life. I do sure feel bad these kids.. so often they get everything they don’t need . I sure feel for Barron Trump’s childhood. May be follow his own path now that hes getting older Super rich & famous kids miss out on regular life.. I wouldn’t trade my bike riding, baseball playing, fort building mud pie making childhood anonymity for anything..
Great documentary. Just goes to show that even money and prestige doesn't buy you happiness and that really does apply to the great women of the guilded age. Doesn't apply so much to the modern age where women have more of an unsightly reputation like Megan Markle who's gone out of her way to destroy the British monarchy and her own family and Kimberly Guilifoyle, who is actually not married to Donald Trump Jr. Maybe engaged but he still hasn't married her yet and I don't think he will.
