Welcome to another bonus episode of Calm History, an extra treat for my Sok Plus members.

This is my second episode about the famous tycoon, John Jacob Astor I The Fourth.

In bonus episode number 53, I shared the bizarre story about the strange man arrested

inside the Astor Mansion in 1894.

Investigations tried to figure out if this strange man was just an innocent homeless man,

or was he part of a race or spying?

In this episode, I'm going to focus more on John Jacob Astor the Fourth, Like, how did he get so rich? Why did he board the Titanic

in 1912? And what were the details of the last days of his life on that ship? Of course, any story about the Titanic is tragic, but this story is also filled

with several heartwarming moments. In the near future, I'll stitch together both of my episodes

about this famous tycoon so you can enjoy a one-hour

silk plus bonus episode all about the curious history of John Jacob Astor, the fourth.

But for now, lean back, put up your feet, and settle into my time machine of

tranquility. I hope this episode distracts and relaxes your overactive brain squirrels.

The Tycoon Life and Titanic Death your overactive brain squirrels.

The Tycoon Life and Titanic Death of John Jacob Astor the Fourth.

This included John Jacob Astor the fourth,

who was the richest person on the ship,

as well as the third richest person in the world.

Which does beg the question,

who was richer than asked her in 1912?

Well, the richest person in the world at this time
