Despite what outsiders might think, family fortunes are not guaranteed. One heir finds himself bankrupt, divorced, disowned, and potentially disinherited.

Five generations of wealth doesn’t prevent Neil Vanderbilt from filing bankruptcy among other troubles in 1931. Several of his problems go back to 1926 and repeat again in 1931.

Other people and subjects include: Grace Wilson Vanderbilt, Benito Mussolini, Kaiser Wilhelm, Vanderbilt fortunes & disinheritances, Alfred Vanderbilt, “Reggie” Reginald Vanderbilt, Gloria Vanderbilt, Caroline Astor, Carrie Astor, Reno divorces, celebrity bankruptcy, and a personal circumstance.
