Will
Astor left $69 million of his $85 million estate ($2.08 billion in 2012 dollars) to his eldest son, Vincent. This value includes his estate in Rhinebeck and his yacht, the Noma. To his wife Madeleine, he left a five million dollar trust fund and an annual paycheck of $500,000, as well as use of his New York mansion 65th & Fifth Avenue, all its furnishings, and his Newport mansion Beechwood and all of its furnishings, pick of whichever luxury limo she wanted from his collection and five of his prized horses—as long as she did not remarry. His remaining child, Alice (who lived with her mother Ava), received a $10 million trust fund.
