The dynasty's founder was John Jacob Astor, a German immigrant whose fur trading business quickly made him a name. Beginning in the late 19th century, the Astors began investing in New York real estate, making John Jacob Astor the first multimillionaire in US history. The great-grandson of the dynasty's founder, John Jacob Astor IV, tragically perished on the Titanic. His brother, William Astor, became known for his massive investments in New York real estate and the construction of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Lady Nancy Astor became the first woman in the British Parliament. How did a fugitive German immigrant manage to build a business in America? What scandals are associated with the Astor name? And what is happening to the dynasty today?
