They didn't just sail on the Titanic—they were investors in it.
The Widener family represented the absolute apex of America's Gilded Age, a dynasty worth a modern $25 billion. Their massive fortune was built by a ruthless ""robber baron"" who rose from a humble butcher to a ""Traction King."" They built Lynnewood Hall, the 110-room ""American Versailles,"" to house a priceless art collection that rivaled museums.
But in a single, icy night, the ship that symbolized their immense power became their tomb. The sinking of the Titanic claimed the family's two heirs, shattering the dynasty and setting in motion its slow, inevitable collapse.
This is the tragic true account of the Wideners: their ruthless rise, their devastating fall, and the haunting legacy they left behind—from the Widener Library at Harvard to the magnificent, decaying ruins of their abandoned palace.
