Imagine having so much wealth that you would only live in a space like that for weeks out of the year. A vacation house? With the staff required, huntsmen, gardeners,mechanics, stable grooms, dairy workers, indoor staff while sitting empty for three quarters of the year. Unfathomable.
Mega yachts require large crews (Paul Allen's had former Navy Seals as security) and continuous maintenance, and spend much of the year unused by their owners. And many of the newest luxury New York apartments are unoccupied.
like john mccain and his 57 homes ?

I believe the correct number was 7. Ownership was in his wife's name.
Waddesdon was actually his weekend house, which would have meant 4 days/5 nights every week. For the rich, the weekend was late Thursday night to early Tuesday morning. At certain times of the year, it would have been lived in for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.
This still makes it an unimaginable expense, but it was effectively the main home, not a holiday home. His London House in Piccadilly was more of a pied a terre.
@@pinchependejo-iy8le Not sure where you're getting your information from, but McCain owned one home. His wife, who was independently wealthy, owned several others. Donald Trump owns six, most of which are on a scale similar to Waddesdon Manor.

It’s profitable funding both sides of war.
It's double the profit so why not?
@@WolfHeathen Not everyone is on board with bloodshed for $$
They purchased more British bonds than German bonds.
Their ill-gotten money
@@xejelah the rothschilds are :)
The formal dining room is my favorite. It is breathtaking❤
That was mine too. One of the most beautiful dining rooms I have ever seen.
The workmanship is amazing. The chandelier over the table in the blue dining room is gorgeous.
I thought the same thing on the chandelier.
If it looks familiar and you can’t remember why it’s because it stood in for Haxby Park in Downton Abbey.
I have been a fan of the more cozy and modest homes you have covered, but this one I surprisingly loved. The overstuff comfortable furniture, the cozier scale of the rooms, the color coordinated furnishings, room and decor made one appreciate the elegance and detail even more. My favorite one by far.
What an incredible home. I am so glad it's with the historic trust and will be maintained. I hope you show us more homes like this.
I am always intrigued by the secret passageways in thes big homes. It would be so fun to spend a month exploring in one of these
My favorite class at university was ‘English Country Houses & Gardens’ and Waddesdon was one of my Victorian favorites!
I’d love to have the smoking room and library. Deep wood tones and rich reds are probably my favourite combination. The entire estate is magnificent.
Live about 30 minutes from here. My family have visited plenty of times with our national trust membership and it’s fantastic!
Soooo jealous!!!. How lucky you are!!.
Same. It's my favourite NT property - I hope to work there one day.
Built on blood money
@@imissyoumom7644as was the USSR, Zimbabwe, Congo, and many other red countries
@@Arthurian. those are countries, many are that way. With Rothschild we are talking about a family not a country.
That’s a pretty spectacular place. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite spot in that house but so glad it’s a national trust property. Thanks for sharing !
yeh one of their over 50 homes
All this is on top of the almost 300 items that Ferdinand left to The British Museum. When I first heard about the chandelier made of broken china (blue dining room), I thought "You've got to be kidding!" However, it works! Excellent video. Now cross the Channel to do a video on Ferrieres (Baron James de Rothschild).
Disgusting.
A testament to the absurd inequality there is in this world.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that their estimated wealth is roughly equal to the wealth of the entire rest of the world
I would love a stable & carriage house tour of one of these properties
What a Beautiful work of art ❤
Great video.
Those dining rooms! beautiful
Masterpiece among the best or the best that I have seen so far.
I love how the comments are focused on the truth about how this family became a banking dynasty, to begin with. Nothing about it was good but let's highlight their trinkets and not the atrocities they have committed to have such things.
What atrocities?
Most vile people 😮
You can still appreciate the beauty and that's what the focus of this video is. There are a ton of evil rothshchild video's out there to watch already.
@@boblil1808They are one of the 13 satanic families
NO, they are named Rothschild. Two german words - Rot(h)=red and schild=shield. The name is because they had a red shield at their house in Frankfurt, so they are named after that.
Correct. Their name of the root family which governs the House is Bauer. The subsidiary families along with Bauer all have their origins in Canaan.
Zionist German jews. Something Nazis were too. Crazy to think George Soros emerged from poverty to being as rich
Canaanites who are from Draconians
Thank you. Came here to say this. Imagine making a documentary and not being able to pronounce the name correctly. 🤦♂️
@@michaellecompte1889 Soros and Rothchild
Have visited this house many times. Simply breathtaking. So many homes in UK worth visiting. ❤❤
it appears Kitsch is truly timeless
I stayed in a castle once while I was in France. I can honestly say that it really isn't that big of a deal. The placed smelled musty, the plumbing was weak and it was drafty. I would rather stay in a modern regular size house. You can only be in one room at a time, so having dozens of extra rooms doesn't really improve the quality of your life - it's just more of the same. Yes it's a major ego rush to point at something like that and say : that's where I live. But once the novelty of that wears off you would probably be happier living in a new home that has: good wifi, modern HVAC, new electrical and modern kitchen and laundry appliances. You also want to be around friends and family. Who wants to be in a fortress far away from everyone else and behind a wall? It's more like a prison or a lunatic asylum.
Maybe that's what they were aiming for - those fun loving psychopaths
What castle by chance? Some places were designed better for better flow of air
Visited there about 10 years ago. The cafe round the side was where I had my first taste of Parsnip crisps/chips.
From a beginning where they weren't even allowed to have a last name ....
not their real last name. they were the money changers in the temple that Jesus flipped over. they chose the cup to drink from.
@@shebamaree9026 congratulations you dont know the difference between the roman empire and the holy roman empire
My interests were in the fireplaces in this impressive house. Look up
Tartarian fireplaces. Then ask yourself why they would put beautiful paintings and cloth above and around heat sources.
Make no mistake, they are still the most powerful family in the world.

well they are part of the western monarchies and establishment
And the most evil trying to take over the world
What is not to like about this house, inside and out! Spectacular and we can see how places like this where emulated in the US!
Great point! So many of the great American estates were modeled after these grand European country houses and manors.
It reminds one of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville
Vanderbilts estate
Automaton has the stresses placed on the second and fourth syllables, when pronounced correctly.
It's all stunning. But I really loved the dining room
My favorite was the “Blue dining room”- lovely!!
There is something so ugly about the interiors of these palaces. Just doesn't feel homey at all. Feels despressing and cold.
why his voice sound like the mix of joe rogan and mark zuckerberg lmao
It’s beautiful I would really love to see this place it if possible thank you
Would like to have seen more of that wine cellar
Oh wow, you can definitely see where George got his inspiration for Biltmore
I liked the potpourri ships. I haven't seen those before
Garish !...........Please do the estate in the Movie "The Remains of the DAY " !
Excellent house Maison, thanks for your excellent video
Favorites? The automaton elephant and exploding plate chandelier!
Not sure why but though it is beautiful, it gives me a sense of sadness as to all of the effort put into build such accomodations the owner still had just one lifetime to enjoy it. It looks to me as a great tomb for some reason.
A beautiful place. I loved it all. They had Great taste !
Wow. I love the house and furnishings. The gardens are spectacular. I`m staying away from all the other comments!!
So beautiful! But the chairs don’t look very comfortable 😬
who remembers this house from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
3:44 you all seen that door? And the maintenance on keeping this manor from rotting probably cost more than a country GDP probably
Which one of the Rothchild mansions that’s currently empty it was a CZcams video of the kids. Try to get in to look around, but they got caught by security guard on a golf cart when they were peeping into the windows. All you saw was just rooms filled with furniture and paintings.
My all time favorite exterior after Easton Neston. Gorgeous facades!
Phenomenal!!
Having met one of these guys in early 1970 so unimpressed by a wizend, shaking old man, Money is useful, affords great treasures, etc etc, but old age gets us all in the end, sneaking up behind us before we know it,
Wow! The richness and the opulence blows my mind! How wonderful that it still exists. I love the dining room, sort of icy white and silver, like a huge wedding dress room. I love those stables, too, with elegant horse statues in front.
Great podcast as always. I was struck by the comments on indoor plumbing. As I live in the UK I had always understood that the introduction of indoor plumbing for middle-class and upper class housing was widespread from the 1860's - dependant on which town you were in. Mill towns and rural areas were often an exception. In Dundee the grander tenements were built with full indoor bathrooms during Victorian times. I would be interested in the variations in the introduction of plumbing especially indoor plumbing around the world.
So no tours of the dungeons and underground crypts where they perform their satanic rituals and human sacrifices I take it?
lmao...right? ...where are the goat head costumes?
Still the wealthiest family in the world. Best guesstimate of their wealth is $1,000,000,000,000 dollars. That's trillion!
Addendum: they were still considered 2nd class citizens because they were Jewish.
Queen Victoria's entourage included a complete kitchen staff to prepare her meals.
Parasites
It's a shame that inheritance taxes are so ruinous. At least, they had the option of "bequeathing it to the nation". Seems like extortion.
if he were smart he would have become a minister and called it the church parsonage and paid no taxes
The rich pay less tax than we do. I mean me and thee, of course. The Rothschild's will be okay. Nothing to lose sleep over.
Exactly. Why should my children have to pay double tax on money that's already been taxed once? Double taxation like inheritance tax and pension tax is greed in its purest most malicious form.
@@WolfHeathen True. Similarly, why pay property taxes on a house you already bought ? It's like you're just renting. Taxes are relentless. The only way to avoid taxes is to have your own army. Or maybe, find some loopholes.
I'm in love with Waddesden. Also the family art collection is TDF
Now THIS is beautiful….ornate but tasteful. Im sorry but this estate puts to shame most of the gaudy older American mansions we’ve seen on this channel. Thank you for sharing!
you can only enter if you say "Fidelio"
Would love to visit. Gorgeous
If this is the vacation house they spent a few weeks a year how is the the house for the rest of the year? Do you have a video of that?
Personally, for so few people to live in such a vast space and 'try' to call it a home and convince others of the same always throws me a little. My view does not come from 'The haves and the have nots'....but more from the practicality of it. (like design over function etc).
It's a bit like setting up a dining table, chairs a bed etc in the middle of a 50 acre field/ football arena, and trying to convince everyone that your comfortable ,at home in the space and dont feel exposed or lost within it. If you think about it on a more realistic scale, for example, has recent has the 1970's families of 6/8 lived in a 'two-up, two-down house...fast forward to the present day and these same victorian homes are being extended/renovated because 'they are too small for a couple or family of just 3 people!.
So maybe it's down to 'making what you have home' or extreme wealth needing to shout about it (the later being ironic, considering the lengths they go to, to secure and protect their privacy...and yet shouting "Look at me, I'm here!".
Cleaning that house must have been a serious bitch
In the US, this would be a dormitory suburb now.
At 0:56 is my favorite picture of Baron Ferdinand Rothschild 😍and can imagine his distinguished friends and honored guests as well as his private time in quarter's centuries before this digital currency internet distastractions. His post mortem picture reveals a deep, saddened loss of his wife and child.❤ Now they all live together in a special relationship in their respectful eternal home ✝️Eternal Father I offer Thee the most precious blood of your son Jesus in union with all the Masses being said all over the world this day for the souls in purgatory 🇻🇦Baron and his family 💐💐💐 Love his hospital built in his wife and childs honor 🎖
Parts of the exterior remind me of the Biltmore House.
For my taste the manor looks very stylish outside and at the same time has quite outdated baroque interiors. Compare it with the Biltmore House, the neo-renaissance interiors of the latter look so much better
I really like this one. Thanks, Ken!
These War criminal are super rich.
The exterior is very reminiscent of The Biltmore. If you haven't covered it already, you should consider Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, NY.
Kabhi Khushi kabhi ghum house where Jaya Bachchan waits with arti thali for sharukh khan who arrived in helicopter 😂😂
First thing I thought of when I saw it.
Beautiful! Happy to see you crossed the pond . Hope to see Josephine Bakers home on This House ⭐️
What a wonderful house. I thank you
ITS MAGNIFICENT
This is a fabulous house!!😍 I read somewhere that Kate Middleton's family was related to the Rothschild family. I loved the whole house!
Catherine's mothers maiden name was Goldsmith but she was not from the Jewish family who are related to the Rothschilds. Goldsmith is an old English surname as well as a Jewish one
One of the smaller rooms, it's about twice the size of my sitting room, has an interesting light fitting. It is part chandelier and part clock, the face of which faces downwards. I lent a little over the rope beneath in order to look up at the clockface and triggered alarms. The room was suddenly filled with staff, and my face was burning with embarrassment!
I've been several times, and each time, I've noticed something different. There is simply too much to take in during one visit. The photographs do not do the rooms justice. In the photographs, they look stunning, but in reality, they are jaw-dropping.
I simply could not choose a single room as my favourite. The whole place is incredible.
I've set off the alarm myself, extending my arm to point at something.
@@oltedders glad to hear it's so well protected.
@@chemokiki the Balfour painting didnt fair too well
All of it is Beautiful!
I may be in the minority here, BUT I would NOT like a huge castle like this.. I would always feel like either someone was somewhere in there or the spirits .. BEAUTIFUL to look at and love to learn about them, but I don’t know if I would want to reside there.. I think it’s the city girl in me 😂😂💜💜.. Thank you for your videos.. they are very well done and I enjoy learning from you !
What a gorgeous home.
It is truly hard to imagine the opulance and ostentatious lifestyle that the rich had, and unfortunately sill posess, against the angst and despair that so many humans struggle with today. Such greed and shallowness toward the rest of humanity is truly disgusting, no matter the time and distance in history.
It's the human condition. Basically all people are reaching for more, from the poorest to the richest.
The counts building and the very proper real propety asset main building.
We hated these weird fountain displays
All of this was in very good beautiful taste, and In considering taste and comfort, and functionality Great view of this magnificent place 💖✅👍👍❣️
Holy crap will you LOOK at this place... wow
Nice 😊😊
The dining room was fabulous!
People still live like this while the country's public finances are a disaster...
Would love a video on their abandoned mansion in Paris!
I love the gardens and the exterior but the majority of the interior was way over the top for me. The one room I found pleasing was the Great Drawing Room/Music Room. However, one of the bedrooms had a lovely multicolored hanging lamp.
I can't imagine dusting the whole house 😳
He made Tippu sultan to look wealth of temples of south India and transported secretly to his France they can build what ever kind of building with all luxuries
Simply breathtaking.... WOW! 😳☺️👍🥰
I could live in that mansion!
It is surprisingly homely for a place with so much gilding. I've been several times.
God bless The National Trust
Absolutely fabulous
Wow, it was very kind of them to bequeath it to the National Trust. It is the most beautiful building I have ever seen. I would never want to let it go…and they certainly have the wealth for its upkeep.
0:50 is that mark Zuckerberg
