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.

They are evil.
😳🤯😱
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 workmanship is amazing. The chandelier over the table in the blue dining room is gorgeous.
I thought the same thing on the chandelier.
you can only enter if you say "Fidelio"
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.
If it looks familiar and you can’t remember why it’s because it stood in for Haxby Park in Downton Abbey.
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 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.
Make no mistake, they are still the most powerful family in the world.
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” Gutle Schnapner Rothschild
"Let us reduce the ephah and increase the shekel; let us cheat with dishonest scales. Let us falsify the scales by deceit, That we may buy the poor for silver, And the needy for a pair of shoes-Even sell the chaff with the wheat..."Amos 8:5-7
"The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail." Deuteronomy 28:43-44 The "stranger among us" is the FED aka Rothschilds aka Wroth Children of Cain/Esau/Synagogue of Satan-Rev 2:9 and 3:9
well they are part of the western monarchies and establishment
And the most evil trying to take over the world
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
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.
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.
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).
There is something so ugly about the interiors of these palaces. Just doesn't feel homey at all. Feels despressing and cold.
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
The true evil.
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
Great video.
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?
it appears Kitsch is truly timeless
Those dining rooms! beautiful
I would love a stable & carriage house tour of one of these properties
What a Beautiful work of art ❤
Visited there about 10 years ago. The cafe round the side was where I had my first taste of Parsnip crisps/chips.
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 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
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 RUclips 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.
These War criminal are super rich.
Excellent house Maison, thanks for your excellent video
Thanks Ken 😊❤
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.
My favorite was the “Blue dining room”- lovely!!
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
Have visited this house many times. Simply breathtaking. So many homes in UK worth visiting. ❤❤
Disgusting.
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.
It's all stunning. But I really loved the dining room
Masterpiece among the best or the best that I have seen so far.
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
Oh wow, you can definitely see where George got his inspiration for Biltmore
Where did they do the ritualistic sacrifices?
So beautiful! But the chairs don’t look very comfortable 😬
why his voice sound like the mix of joe rogan and mark zuckerberg lmao
Wow. I love the house and furnishings. The gardens are spectacular. I`m staying away from all the other comments!!
Phenomenal!!
Favorites? The automaton elephant and exploding plate chandelier!
Nice 😊😊
Would like to have seen more of that wine cellar
A beautiful place. I loved it all. They had Great taste !
I really like this one. Thanks, Ken!
Automaton has the stresses placed on the second and fourth syllables, when pronounced correctly.
In the US, this would be a dormitory suburb now.
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!
It’s beautiful I would really love to see this place it if possible thank you
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.
Garish !...........Please do the estate in the Movie "The Remains of the DAY " !
Beautiful! Happy to see you crossed the pond . Hope to see Josephine Bakers home on This House ⭐️
Would love to visit. Gorgeous
What a gorgeous home.
who remembers this house from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
What a wonderful house. I thank you
I liked the potpourri ships. I haven't seen those before
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.
Videos like this just proves that people like Mel Gibson and Kanye’ West are right about “those people”….😎
Holy crap will you LOOK at this place... wow
All of it is Beautiful!
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.
My all time favorite exterior after Easton Neston. Gorgeous facades!
ITS MAGNIFICENT
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?
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 !
Cleaning that house must have been a serious bitch
The dining room was fabulous!
Great video but the hideous large fonts blocks all the views!!
0:50 is that mark Zuckerberg
Absolutely fabulous
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 🎖
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!".
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 could live in that mansion!
It is surprisingly homely for a place with so much gilding. I've been several times.
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
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.
I'm in love with Waddesden. Also the family art collection is TDF
Unbelievable 😮
I can't imagine dusting the whole house 😳
🎉🎉🎉 nicest
Simply breathtaking.... WOW! 😳☺️👍🥰
Why is youtube giving "Context" for this video about the Rothschilds? I've never seen youtube do this for any other family or person. And why is the context linked to encyclopaedia Britannica? And not wikipedia as it almost always is. Hmmm.
RUclips did this for my White House video, too. They do this when there is a lot of misinformation about a particular subject. As usual, I stuck to the facts and did not put anything in my video that might further disinformation and/or conspiracy.
@@ThisHouseweird they didn't link to wikipedia as they always do though, but instead encyclopedia Britannica. I looked at your white house video too but the context link is not there for it. It was the how many white houses video right?
Interesting, it was on that video for the first few days. It must have been removed after being reviewed by a real person.
You're noticing.
Imagine robbing the planet with fake money and not working a day of your life.
Parts of the exterior remind me of the Biltmore 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
Pure wow!
I have always adored Waddesdon. Yes, it's intimidating as all get out but it has the grace and elegance that other mega mansions were going for but tried too hard to achieve. This creation looks more comfortable and at ease with itself.
The style is famous in most of their many homes. Called "le gout Rothschild".
All of this was in very good beautiful taste, and In considering taste and comfort, and functionality Great view of this magnificent place 💖✅👍👍❣️
Hopefully people know the truth about these people...never idolize their wealth.
Cry me a river, both of you…….
I agree. Most people don’t understand how this wealth was gained at the expense of other people’s lives.
You are wrong
That house was used in the carry on film don’t lose your head
