The Vanderbilt family is not different from many wealthy families around the world. The old saying goes. First generation makes it, second generation works it and third generation spends it. I don't think they were crazy. It just proves the point that if you never worked for it then there is no value to it.

I owned two Vanderbilt's jeans they were so comfy. I knew Anderson Cooper as a CNN news reporter not as a Vanderbilt.

Very well done interview. I’ve always wanted to read a book about the Vanderbilts ever since I started my nursing career at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville and I think Anderson Cooper’s book will be the one I read. I like his authenticity.

LOL! Hair doesn’t turn white from stress. It’s actually strictly genes. If you look at his ancestors, they all had white hair. His hair is especially beautiful, and makes his blue eyes really pop. We should all be so lucky to have his gorgeous white hair.

I've always admired Anderson! I really had no idea about his ties with the Vanderbilt's, until I saw a 60 minute show, talking about their family, with his mother.

I loved Gloria's jeans I'm Anderson found happines for himself and never let the sad overcome him I'm glad he has a son to pass on his history

My paternal Grandmother was employed by the Vanderbilts in Newport, RI. There were times when she had to travel to their other places or risk loosing her job. With four children and no other means of support she had no good options. She kept the job by farming the older boys out,the youngest boy (my Dad) was left in an home for boys and the daughter went to an aunt. Not happy time for any of them. I am happy for Anderson Cooper’s forthright interview. It seems that time, and an open, insightful, mind can challenge the weight of the past. I may need to read his book.

Reading the book now! WOW! Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your family's history. Must say, I'm halfway through this amazing book, yet having an extremely challenging time reading about your young mother and what she endured... Very disturbing and heartbreaking to say the least..... God Bless your mom (and I own numerous pairs of her jeans) and God Bless you Anderson and your beautiful son Wyatt! You too are an extremely amazing man!

Love Anderson.. and his Lil guy is so stinking cute

I love how in the photo of baby Wyatt he is wearing stripes like Anderson's dad is wearing in the photo that was shown of him.

It’s a great thing that Anderson Cooper has a strong desire to work and save! Perhaps now a in the future he and his son will have the funds to share it with the needy!

I might actually be related to him & have Vanderbilt blood, Vanderbilt had multiple jobs & a railroad across Nicaragua in the mid 1850s as well as multiple unclaimed children on that part of the world. My grandma was originally from a town he help found & turn into the first path across the Atlantic to the pacific

Anderson Cooper is gifted, remarkable, resilient BECAUSE HIS MOTHER WAS THE EXAMPLE. Unfortunately, his dad died unexpectedly and Gloria Vanderbilt kept picking up the pieces of a very troubling life of LOSS. And don't get me wrong, EVERYBODY is going to pass away, but very few people can handle the unfortunate trials that she had as a young child being kidnapped herself; her husband died young at 50; her other song committed suicide, her shrink and personal attorney STOLE her money and even though she sued and won the case, she never received the restitution due her. And so you see, even the very rich are marked with bad times. As for her jeans, some of us are working with too much to wear them. But she was CLASSY and INSPIRATIONAL. And therefore Anderson could not be any less FABULOUS! I love that platinum hair of his. Congratulations to you Anderson Cooper for a life (so far) well lived.

He had tears welling up at the very end.

My phone messed up. I love anderson's smile, funny laugh & great sense of humor.

Anderson Cooper the man with the great laugh😊

That baby boy is beyond adorable!

Anderson is a true gent love from Ireland

Love Anderson!.Can't wait to read the book!

Geez, seems like there were lots of opportunities in new America in the 1700's........... also you gotta hand it to Anderson for having a self-guided work ethic....... admirable!

I love Anderson Cooper. This channel is great! Such interesting stories 👍👍

I have been working on my family history and he and I are distant cousins, I went tripping through his family tree and thought oh boy the people are messed up and I thought my family was crazy LOL!

Anderson Cooper may be the only rich person that I have ever admired and cared about. And I am 87 years old .

Anderson, you are better than any Vanderbilt, except your Mother. Great man, son and Father. Just be you, that is more than good enough❤❤❤

Anderson Cooper you are truly a gem....... Congrats on the Dad thing he is so cute. I pray you find everything in life that pleases you and stay healthy my friend.

He's a kindred spirit.

Started Working in his teens. Just like his Great Grand Father starting his shipping company at age 11. The Genetics are there. AC is comfortable and savy enough to keep his wealth working for him. He has a family now.

I am sorry you lost your brother how sad

The commodore a Psychopath? No. A Narcissist most likely. I read this book and absolutely loved it. It’s a very fascinating history and written so beautifully. Anderson and Catherine Howe did a fantastic job with it.

Awesome! I'd like to explore more about how my family, Boykin, and the Vanderbilt family diverged since slavery. Saw an episode on PBS about it on Finding Your Roots with Henry Gates. There's a reason I've always loved Biltmore and Asheville NC. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

I just love Anderson cooper very nice person god bless his sons love from egypt
