The Velvet Ledger traces the rise and fall of history's wealthiest families — the American industrial dynasties and European aristocratic houses whose fortunes built palaces, funded empires, and then vanished within a few generations. Each episode is a long-form documentary, 30 to 60 minutes, following exactly how a fortune gets made, spent, married into royalty, divided among heirs, and eventually reduced to nothing. From the Vanderbilts, once worth more than the U.S. Treasury and later unable to produce a single millionaire at a family reunion, to the next dynasty on the ledger, this channel is for anyone fascinated by what money can't hold onto forever.
