This was lovely and very well presented. Always enjoy visiting Biltmore and feeling George’s generous presence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, GWV did not work even one day in his life.

hi! can i ask you a question?

Sorry but he wasn't what is today known as a Environmentalist he was a conservationist. He didn't worship the Earth like all the Green people today. He was a Christian man that had created like in Europe a self sustaining farm and village this was achieved but he did fall on harder times with some failed investments and this project as great as it was and is today was a money pit and he didn't earn anything off of it. I think today is it's most success than it ever had been in the past. He put everything that was the latest technology in the day he spoke 8 languages he would have made a good professor if he had not been born into wealth. It's good he helped the community and money isn't everything but yet it was cause without his family fortune he couldn't have done this he spent 1 million 1894 dollars on this thing that's far more money than 1 mil today. He didn't have to pay taxes you kept what you earned or inherited. I'd never compare him to the Environmentalist kooks of today.

It's suck to die from an appendectomy in today's standard of medical expertise. It's also suck to pay so much money for healthcare in America now a day.
