I was introduced to this topic by listening to Anderson Cooper, the newsman who descends from the Vanderbilt family and who recently wrote the novels, the Vanderbilts and the Astors. Fascinating series of how certain families of the Gilded Age in America with their fabulous wealth saved many English aristocratic domains and families from bankruptcy and ruin by marrying and investing their money back in the old country via marriage. The sacrifices that these daughters underwent to give their "new money" families an aristocratic link and introduction into the "old money".
