George Vanderbilt, the youngest son of industrialist William Henry Vanderbilt, was one of the wealthiest men in America during the late 19th century. His fortune primarily stemmed from the family’s extensive railroad and real estate holdings. While exact figures are difficult to determine, some estimates suggest his wealth was around $100 million at the time of his death in 1914, equivalent to several billion dollars today. His wealth allowed him to build the opulent Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, which remains a testament to his affluence.

The Biltmore House is not directly related to Cornelius Vanderbilt; instead, it was built by his grandson, George Washington Vanderbilt II. Constructed between 1889 and 1895 in Asheville, North Carolina, the Biltmore is the largest privately-owned home in the United States. The Vanderbilt family, including Cornelius, was known for their significant contributions to American industry and society, and George Washington Vanderbilt II continued that legacy through his investments in the estate and surrounding landscape.
