#Aprella #AmericanMoney Gerald Murphy was being groomed to take over the family business,legendary leather goods company Mark Cross , but he would have none of it. Both he and wife Sara had an artistic bent & fled to Europe to avoid family pressures.They socialized with the likes of Dorothy Parker , the Fitzgeralds , the Hemingways, Picasso, & Cole Porter.The depression changed their fortunes , but the experiences they had seem priceless.

Rachbb3 The Murphy's were an interesting couple. They went through some serious heartache. 6y
Leftcoastzen @Rachbb3 Amazing highs and devastating lows for sure. 6y
emilyhaldi Ah yes, I remember reading about the Murphy's in this book ✨ 6y

#Aprella #AmericanMoney?I don't think you can talk about American money without J.Paul Getty being part of the conversation. I just watched "All the Money in the World" about the 1973 kidnapping of his 16-year old grandson, John Paul Getty III & it's based on this book which I put on my #TBR. If you don't know the story, J. Paul Getty first refused to pay ransom then finally contributed $1 million-the maximum amount that would be tax deductible.

DebinHawaii ...Speaking of American money, check out this NYT article about the difference in $$$ between Mark Wahlburg and Michelle Williams's salaries for the film's reshoot. #genderpaygap 😡

Reviewsbylola Wow, I didn‘t know this story at all! 6y
emilyhaldi I don't know this story but for some reason it reminds me of a difference case I watched on ID channel with @Mdargusch ... Barbara Mackle was kidnapped for ransom and locked in a box underground for 3 days waiting for her ransom to be paid by her wealthy father. 🤯🤯🤯 @Reviewsbylola u gotta look it up 6y

mrp27 Fascinated by this story. I didn't see the movie but I'm currently watching Trust on Paramount about the kidnapping. This version is suggesting that that Paul jr. was in on the kidnapping. Since I've moved back to California I've been dying to visit the Getty museum. 6y
Mdargusch Wow! This dates me because I remember this @Reviewsbylola and @emilyhaldi 👂🏻 6y
batsy I watched the movie, which was incredibly tedious. But the story riveted me in that "rich people's logic is so horrifying" way. I'm guessing the book might be a lot more interesting. 6y
Cinfhen Fascinating #stacked 6y

emilyhaldi Yes I did read it! It definitely offers some very interesting information but I found it to be somewhat dry as well. I skimmed some sections and loved others! 6y

The shuttle | Frances Hodgson Burnett
post image

This #Persephone is about American heiresses crossing the Atlantic to marry impoverished British aristocrats. They infused the Brits with #AmericanMoney and in turn adopted the titles & “ruled their lands as well”, so to speak. These marriages were happening frequently at the turn of the century, so much so that the ships were said to be crossing back and forth across the Atlantic like the weaving of a shuttle, hence the title. 💸💸💸

#Aprella #day19 #AmericanMoney The Kennedy‘s were one of the wealthiest & most influential families in America, counting among them a President, Senators,titans of industry & style icons.Loaded with American money,for 150yrs they were US royalty,but they were cursed too.JFK & Bobby assasinated, Rosemary lobotomised, Joseph Jr in a plane explosion, JFK & Jackie‘s 2nd son dead from SIDS & JFK Jr & wife dead in a plane crash & that‘s only some of it.

Reviewsbylola They‘ve definitely had their share of tragedy. 6y
