The Late VIM. ii. Vanderbilt.

The late VIM. H. Vanderbilt is believed to
have been the richest man in the world, his
estate being estimated at $780, 900. His
yearly income was $40, 1853, 00O This is at the
rate of $4,000 per day, $1,000 an hour or
nearly $50 a minute. And yet when the sum-
mons came he went as submissively as the
poorest man on earth. With all his worldly
wealth he had doubtless, as many ungratili.
ed wants as any of those whom the world
deems less favored.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's estate was divided be-
tween his children, at the rate of ten millions
apiece to eight of them. For fear they may
come to want by extravaganza one-half is left
in trust in each case. He leaves to each of
his daughters, also, the houses they live in.
To his grandson, VIM. H., the son of Corne-
Illus, he leaves one million dollars. His widow
gets half a million absolutely and an annuity
of 100000 year, the house in which helived,
the furniture, paintings, library, stables,
horses, sc. About 100000 is left to
charitable objects, and annuities ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 are left to distant relatives.
The remaider ofthe fortune is divided equally
between his sons Cornelius and VIM. X.
Vanderbilt.
1t is stated that the heirs are satisfied with
thewill.
