So much is being said and written about
American baby multi-millionaires, such
as Winston Walsh Mclean. Baby Astor,
or twelve-year-old John Nicholas Brown
&c. that the fact is being overlooked
that there are few baby multi-milIion-
aires in England also. To begin with,
one never hears of the Rothschild or the
Barring babies. or others in the financial
world of Europe. And it should not be
forgotten that among the British nobil-
ity there are quite number, also.
On the last day of 1910 a son was born
to the Earl and Countess Fitzwiliiam
The earl is one of the wealthiest Of
English peers, and draws a princely rev.
enue from mining royalties. He owns
1l5.c00 acres in England and Ireland. his
English estates bringing in, il is said
about E9o.000 per annum, and his Irish
estates about a50000. Some idea of the
extent Of the wealth to which the infant,
Viscount Milton. is heir. may he gath
cred from the fact that the late peers
estate was valued at considerably over
e2.0O00eo
Perhaps one OF the richest English
babies is the son of Lord Howard de
Walden who was born with his twin
sister. in November last He comes OF
two enormously wealthy lines. and in
addition to a peerage will have wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice. His faith
