  • Notes 
    • the cousins Robert Goelet IV and Robert Walton Goelet controlled most of the family fortune in the same quiet and secretive way their forebears had for generations. In 1925, the Goelet cousins fortune was estimated in excess of 100'000'000 $ and between them, they sat on the board of directors or trustees of important economic institutions such as the Chemical National Bank, Guarantee Trust Co, Equitable Trust Co of NY, Title Guarantee & Trust Co, Fulton Trust Co, Illinois Central Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, Wabash Railroad, National Surety Co and the Metropolitan Opera Co, to name but a few. The value of the Goelets real estate holdings in New York City was assessed to 47'468'500 $ in 1935. Given the general underestimation of real estate properties as well as the inherent low standard of living in the Depression years, these assets were certainly much more valuable.

      Activity : Real Estate
      Main property : New York City real estate
