The Mystery Fortune

Despite the well-known inheritance Gloria came into, there is a cloud of mystery surrounding the modern Vanderbilt fortune. Anderson has claimed that he isn't getting any of his mother's money, which could be up to $200 million, claiming that he does not have a trust fund. Indeed, there may not even be a fortune left. In the '80s and '90s she was embroiled in court cases over funds that each totaled less than $2 million, first with her former fashion partners, and then with her lawyer and psychiatrist who had misappropriated her funds. Despite the court ruling in her favor on the fraud case, she had owed millions in back taxes and was forced to sell her New York City and Hamptons homes. If there is any fortune left, it may be left to charity - we suppose the secret is in her will.
