Message: [QUOTE="Charles Provost, post: 249539, member: 137142"] Mike: in all the books I read, they said Colonel Roebling, George Rheims and Emil Brandeis worth $3 million. Henry Birkhardt Harris and Isidor Straus worth $5 million. George D. Widener and John B. Thayer were $10 million. Finally, many books exagerate on the fortune of Colonel Astor saying he worth over than $25 million. Actually I think Astor worth $15 million. You seem to forget that Astor was crushed by the falling of the 22 meters first funnel. The same way as Charles Duane Williams. Mr Harris seems to be one of the only prominent man that we don't know the way he died. But one never knows, perhaps you're right and it was someone else who was at the bottom of the raft.
