I would actually love to see a Netflix series about his family. It seems so scandalous. Would make for a great drama series.

One of the best human beings alive ... He is brilliant, charming and just so good natured and empathetic, he is a pillar of kindness and integrity. ❤️

I love Anderson Cooper he seems so genuine and down to earth considering he’s family history. He gets more handsome as he ages and He also has the beautiful blue eyes.

I fall more in love with Anderson Cooper every time I see him talk.

I love Anderson Cooper 🌟 he's such a great guy

Pedigree opens doors regardless of money

Anderson has the BEST giggle!

I adore him. He is so real.

I think even if you are not inheriting any wealth, still the name of the family u belong to open many doors in the job market.

If I were to come back from a prior life, I would want Anderson to be my dad.

He is so handsome! congrats on being new dad! xoxo.

Cooper is one amazing human being. Nothing but respect for him.

Anderson Cooper is a gem His parents really did impart "the privilege thing" is not included in his psyche. . He worked his way up + is balanced. . His son Wyatt 💙 is precious

I am sure his son won't have to go begging. He will have enough to go to the very best colleges in the world. Whatever he wants. He won't have to struggle. Lucky little boy. His dad loves him very much, you can tell. 😍😊

Love the sense of humor 🤣

I like Anderson, I do. I'm sure he put in the work, and he deserves all the success he has. And he had significant challenges growing up, albeit, not necessarily what the average person experiences. But lets get real. Anderson's parent's money and name opened doors for him, sent him to the best schools etc. Did they have the wealth of his grandparents? No. However, he was given a pretty amazing head start in life.

I like Anderson a lot. He's a great journalist and seems like a nice guy. He didn't get a show on CNN and be on 60 Minutes without having some serious journalism chops.

Reading it now and it’s like a great history book! Awesome Study in human nature!

His family can be traced back to the Netherlands and if you do some more research he's directly related to Cornelius Vanderbilt.🇳🇱

He is so charming ❤️

man, wish I was in that audience to get a copy of this book ! I have read two of Anderson's previous books, he is an outstanding author.

Seriously I love you Anderson! In another life we could be friends!

Just adore him. From Channel One to CNN.

Good chemistry between these two!

My wish is to meet him before facing the final curtain. Am a 78yo grandma who simply adore Snderson Cooper ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Luv to Anderson and baby . Genuine .....💙

He's dismissing all the other ways in which his family's past wealth got him opportunities besides actual access to the money itself.

I can't tell you how many pair of GV jeans I owned/wore back in the day. They fit great!

It's easy to imagine children of the very wealthy being spoiled, entitled brats. If I were very wealthy anything I leave for my children would come with strict stipulations regarding they're conduct and further education.

How can you not love Anderson?

Anderson Coooooper. Platinum dude

I love Anderson Cooper so happy he was blessed with a son. ❤

Adore you both! 💟

I hear in person he’s gorgeous with beautiful blue eyes. He’s so silly here.

I would definitely leave my children everything I have. I don't have a fortune so they won't be wealthy. I love my children and they are very responsible adults and wonderful parents. I'm very proud of them.

Anderson may not have inherited money however he had so many other advantages, and yes, disadvantages, in life.

It's getting harder to tell these two apart.

Anderson might not have inherited money - he did, however get an apartment worth quite a few million, antiques, artworks, etc. By no means did he walk away empty handed. Gloria's 3rd son inherited absolutely nothing.

Love Anderson!

Such humility..

Anderson Cooper is a warm handsome person 🥰💜🤎💛🧡❤ love him

Today's table flowers are beautiful✨❤

I've been in love with Anderson since the moment I laid eyes on him.

Ellen you seem so nice to Anderson. I hope you become great friends! Love you too Ellen

Vanderbilt Netflix special YES!!! 👏 ♥️

Wow! I admire Anderson Cooper. I watched him on CNN. Read his first book about becoming an international reporter. I knew his mom was a Vanderbilt, a wealthy family in the New York City area! (But, I wasn’t interested in inheritance issues about him.) Wasn’t interested in that! These days, he is raising a son, working for CNN and 60 Minutes on CBS and writing books. Wow! An amazing story! Thanks 😊,

♥️Wyatt is 1 blessed baby! ♥️Coop

He didn't need to get money from her, he had the privilege of wealth and connections.

Oh come on, he’s going to leave all his money to his son.

God I love Anderson! So dry, DTE and funny 😊

Mr. Cooper is a very intelligent man who calls it like he see's it. Everytime he speaks of current events I not only learn something but am also, "what he said" in agreement.

Ellen will be able to write a book about the rise and fall of a dynasty in her spare time!!

Anderson Cooper is such a nice guy!

Love you, Anderson & Wyatt!!! ❌⭕️♥️❌⭕️

How about Vandergays…❤️

It would make sense..that there is this point of understanding with this. It is not the right one.. You make money to take care of your family.. But if you think you should keep it.. Then that is a selfish way of being.. If you teach your children the value of money then it will be forever ingrained into there way of being..

Anderson is a top journalist!

Anderson is so cool!

I love you, Anderson. 😂

You would not believe the amount of money I happily pay for vintage Member's Only jackets. It's embarrassing.

He’s so funny

Love his mother so cool love Anderson

I agree a movie about the family

They had a good life and these days it’s very hard to be part of the working class.

Talk about “White Privilege”! Mommy’s name opened many doors for him.

Anderson should read Robert A Heinlein’s books about the Howard Foundation. The concept is you leave your descendants money, but they must earn and match the amount before it’s released. Not leaving them anything so that they struggle illustrates just how much the rich don’t know what the struggle is.

I love this man. Such a genuine handsome man.

I understand the point of trying to teach your children the value of money and work, and the nedd to work, but to say without hesitating 'I won't leave my children' anything is also terribly strange and I find it disturbing. They are not guilty of having well off or rich parents, and if there is anyone to love and care for is one's children. The thing is one has to bring them up with the proper values, and not as idle rich puppets. Leaving everything to others out of that sentiment and feeling can also be hurtful. If I were rich, I would leave my money also to my children, because I would probably love them more than anything else. There is nothing wrong with that, per se. Quite strange!

I just love Anderson!

@MK , he didn’t have the Vanderbilt name growing up.

I luv Anderson's humor, he makes wht society deems a difficult subject, humorous, rthr than toss'n it 2 the dark side.

Ellen always dresses so nicely.

Anderson Cooper is interesting, For years I've regrettably had a crush on him to no avail of course. He is an American Icon in his own right argumentatively the most renouned reporter of this era.

I saw the A and E Biography of his family. They are an interesting family

Any idea on Helen's Nike? Thanks

I am not surprised about the gayness being big in the family thing. Firstly, it DOES run in the family sometimes. And, when I've seen that photo of baby Gloria held by the lady relative, that he has on the cover, I thought it was 'TONY CURTIS' starring in 'SOME LIKE IT HOT' ! The 30's cloche hat, and mannish face, they might have styled him copying that in '59 when they filmed it! Several family members said the same thing when looking at the photo, which I'd seen before, BTW.

I like Anderson BUT if you are born into such a family, many more doors to prosperity open to you. It's easy to say you won't leave your kids money, when they will have it made just by birth. For most families, this is not the case. Most regular people struggle, and anything left to one's children will only help their struggles.

Anderson Cooper Nationality: American🇺🇲 Ethnicity: English-Dutch🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇱 Height: 5'10"📏

We call Anderson silver fox. Heeey Anderson

Mine too

Our family was chocked full of heterosexuals.

Can’t wait to read it

I love the Ellen show...

Cooper is the best!

I found it a bit hypocritical!!! If you have money is different from having a heart.

Ellen you looks so chic today same as always

Actually there was an article that said that he was left money.

he should host your show too! 😍

Really? What the heck. As long as people are happy.

Hey, the kid did all right.

Interesting video and interview. My comment and observation are not to take away his own merit, for I admire Anderson a lot and I am sure he is a great guy. However, even though, he did not inherit his mother’s money, as he said, he had the best education the money could buy, the famous name and he knew/knows the most influential people that could open the doors for great job opportunities. I am glad he did not take those for granted, like many spoiled rich brats, and built himself a great life. It shows how important it is to teach real values to children.

Ellen says don't give Ur kids money when she has no kids

I saw him at a random bar in Houston and got a photo with him and Andy cohen. Biggest surprise ever!

Anderson is a wealthy dude too! C'mon now! Who is he going to leave it to!!

Pledge allegiance?

She then bullied him backstage

Yes that's good help Wyatt w college then good like that ur on your own.

Two, lucky, top 1% multi millionaires who live in a bubble.

There is a great book about the rise of the Vanderbilt fortune. The Commodore was a brutish, crude bully, a foul man. Frequently spitting on the floor, cursing like, well....a commadore and utterly ruthless businessman. Not a pleasant man by any measure

Anderson, please, can you make more videos with the bebito??.The other family wants to see him more often.
