  • How an Insane Pleasure Park Bankrupted an Aristocrat

    Nepo babies are not a new thing in fact, high society has capitalised on this practice throughout all of human civilisation. Of course we want our children to prosper from our fortunes, but when those fortunes are guaranteed, what incentives do the children have to do anything for

    themselves?
    There are glaringly obvious downsides to nepotism but not all nepo babies simply coast along on the success and bank balances of their parents. A few make a name for themselves in interesting and even beneficial ways. One of those people was Charles Hamilton, the creator of Painshill Park.
