John Jacob Astor IV (one of the most richest men in US) was an American millionaire businessman, real estate builder, inventor, and writer.

Madeleine Astor (nee Talmage-Force) was John Jacob's 'significant other' (she was 18 when she married JJ - who was 47).

Both were probally famous because Madeleine survived the Titanic sinking, where as unfortunately her husband didn't.

FACT: According to John Jacob Astor's will, Madeleine would have received income from a $5,000,000 trust fund as long as she did not remarry.
