36. Vanderbilt Family Values | Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney

Today, we begin our investigation into the storied Gilded Age American family, the Vanderbilts. We'll start with the second generation, where no one was shy about their wealth, with the lives of Cornelius Vanderbilt II and his wife Alice Claypoole Gwynne Vanderbilt, and their seven children.
