He is a glamour figure.
He is in the tabloids.
He is a giant on Wall Street.
And he's massively wealthy, of course.
He's kind of become the embodiment of this jazz age sleaze of uber wealth and glamour and just...
sums up the 20s really, but he's still very private.
He's still shrouded in a bit of mystery and suspicion.
Rob, I am curious, do we know roughly how wealthy he was in the late 20s before the great crash of 29?
I mean, he even filed for bankruptcy at one point in 1915 after he had accumulated all these massive debts.
I have heard that nobody on Wall Street has made and lost quite so many fortunes so many times in the history of Wall Street.
I mean, obviously, we all know stories of people that made it and then lost it all or lost it all and then made it back.
But, you know, it's just an incredible rollercoaster career, really.
It sounds like Chateau Wigglesworth every Thursday, really.
Yeah.
But this showgirl, she was a famous showgirl.
This was the Ziegfeld Follies.
Yeah.
So, so since the, the, his great success in 1907, he's lost several fortunes and then finally made it back is good for at least 20, $30 million.
Uh, he's married a glamorous show girl, uh,
He also bought a massive house out on Long Island, right, which was the inspiration for Great Egg, the setting for the great Jay Gatsby's parties.
