I just turned 43. I’m a successful, single woman, with 2 biological children and 1 step daughter (I left her father, not her) And I’ve realized the more money I make, the less people I have around me. I don’t date. I don’t have a best friend. I don’t go out. I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs. I smoke disgusting cigarettes - I wish I could quit. The comment section of KZread is the only “social media” I subject myself to. Along with my children and aside from my adult step daughter, my disabled/elderly father lives with me and I take care of him in my home. He will never know a retirement facility. My mother passed away in 2017 and I cared for her at home, as well. I don’t feel alone, or lonely, I don’t feel like anything is missing in my life. It would be nice to have someone, but it’s not necessary. I’d rather be by myself and peaceful, than upset because of behaviors/actions of someone I chose to share my life and space with. Dating these days is often similar to dealing with a misbehaved child than a grown man, anyway. They lie, sneak, argue, throw fits, it’s work to compromise, etc. I’ve never known a man who didn’t come with some degree of pain to inflict. Minimal is still more than I care to deal with. Quite frankly, who needs it? Not I. I’ll know who he is, if he appears, but until then, I’m happily wealthy and loved, and can live the rest of my days as such. Women - keep your money and peace. Travel. Love your family. Men are not necessary, so just wait until you’re absolutely sure. And always remember: 1 red flag is still too many.

Many evenings after I had put the kids to bed she would pour us a glass of the finest wine, we would sit down and she would confide in me.

Well, that's a common story among lottery winners.

I was just Blessed to run upon your channel. I loved everything about it❤ WONDERFUL! YOU HAVE A FOREVER SUBSCRIBER❤

One thing I learned..if you want wealth to run in th family name your children appropriately..that being said these young women's lives prove money doesn't equal happy untroubled lives just like anyone else. Also would love to read th books written about these women nd get full details so fascinating..thank you for th content.

Great video! Just goes to show you that immense wealth doesn't make you happy sometimes!

I grew up wealthy with wealthy classmates and none of us were actual happy. Most of our parents were divorced or divorcing as we were growing up. It took my parents twelve excruciatingly long years to divorce. I was caught in the middle and my parents constantly bought me presents to try to make up for it, but it never replaced their lack of sanity and stability. :/

Excellent. There is a recording of a telephone call between Hugo and her nephew. It's available through your public library at least it is in Vancouver BC. She didn't visit in person but she enjoyed visiting on the phone. I've read many stories about all these women and their families. There was some new details I enjoyed hearing. All in all, thoroughly researched and entertaining. Thank you. XoXo

Which one are you referring to? There are several stories here?

Merry Christmas. So happy to see your channel grew!

Thank you for great stories ❤ fabulous to listen to after Sunday morning chores or at night with a lively beverage ❤❤

I am sure that James Cameron took inspiration from these ladies’ lives when he wrote the character of Rose in Titanic. Wasn’t her full name Dewitt Buchanan? I heard those names somewhere in this video. Very well done! New sub here 👍🏽💌✌🏽

Thank you for sharing these interesting stories. Sadly, some of the people surrounding these ladies were so greedy.

My grandma was born in 1933 and around 1952 she had a job at Woolworth's. There she met a man who she got pregnant by but come to find out, he's married with 2 daughters. When she tells him she's pregnant, he says "Good, now no one will want you but me!" And this is how my aunt was conceived... Doesn't this mean Woolworths owes my grandma back child support? 😁 Obviously this is a joke... Although, it would be nice. Too bad they don't hand out checks for shitty smooth talking men knocking up innocent girls. I say innocent because my grandma didn't even know how babies were made exactly until she was pregnant with her own. Oh, and jokes on that guy... my grandpa came along a few years later, married my grandma, adopted my aunt and then later my dad was born.

Hutton had so much going for her. I don’t get the sadness. She married the wrong men and made stupid decisions.

So interesting and stories supported with great images, loved this!

So well done. Thank you for just sticking to the facts.

Barbara was a beauty and Doris was scary scary looking, IMO

Incredible work again! I love all your compilations, they have the best stories!!

Really enjoyed these stories look forward to more of them 👏

Very good. Always enjoy your uploads.

THIS WAS FANTASTIC ! I COULDN'T STOP LISTENING ❤❤❤❤

These women were weak with no resilience. that is why they fell for the trappings of their minds. A lot of us would take those millions and make miracles in people's lives rather than waste them on those men and addictions

Well done. You tell these stories in a kind way. Regarding Doris Duke, its well known in Newport ,Rhode Island that tbe paperboy was present at a crucial time of the accident. He has come forward in the last 2 years after his father begged him to keep quiet many years ago for fear of lethal retaliation fron Duke.

I live on Long Island NY which has many very wealthy areas. Whenever I go to a Starbucks or something in those areas I encounter the most obnoxious people I have ever met!

I think when people do not have meaningful work, they fill their lives with useless things and useless people.

Very thoroughly done, great info. I've read about three of these ladies, and I learned a few new things from you. ❤🎉

Bravo! Wonderful! You put a lot of time and effort into this presentation! Thank you! 😊 ❤

By the time I was raised in a place where the wealthy people were I had been asked by three men who tried to pick me up. Thank you Mom and Dad for making me aware of this danger

Thank you, for posting a portion of this rich history. It shows that 'he who is not happy with little, will not be happy with much'!. Bless them all.

Thx. Very interesting and a good array of photographs,

I look forward to ALL your videos ❤😊. - Happy holidays and New years 🎇🎉 if you don't upload again before the end of the year.

There is a 1967 Disney movie called the happiest millionaire, it is a based on the memoir of Cordelia Drexel Biddle, who was married to Doris Duke’s first cousin Angier Buchanan, Duke. The movie is memorable for a dozen alligators, a character who eats chocolate cake for breakfast, and the fantastic Tommy Steele. Clark From a biography of her I read, was an extremely entitled woman who threw money around to get what she wanted. She was highly demanding and oblivious. She also loved her dolls. It seems that she may have been neuro divergent. The bio was very interesting, and you’re correct; I wouldn’t want to be her.
