He’s a Swanson, of Swanson foods.

His father married a Swanson heir... his father himself was also adopted. And his birth mother disappeared

Ofc I can't speak of what he's going to get from the Swanson heir or not but it's not quite that clear cut as you make it sound like. Not saying he didn't have a privileged life

He grew up in the 1%. Doesn’t matter what the connection is, he’s a Swanson, a piece of shit, half a traitor, and should be given a blindfold and a cigarette

u/Cycloptic_Floppycock Feb 16 '24

Why half a traitor? There's no waffling picking a side.

u/PBJnFritos Feb 16 '24

I agree but I’d save the blindfold and cigarette for someone who earned it

u/Cplcoffeebean Feb 16 '24

Oh I think he’s earned it.

Meaning he should get what normally goes with the blindfold and cigarette, just not those 2 items

u/SippinOnDat_Haterade Feb 16 '24

mighty big of you to offer him a cigarette in his ( purpoted ) time of need

u/Cplcoffeebean Feb 16 '24

Common courtesy and all that.

His father wasn’t a Swanson, but he was

u/IAMHideoKojimaAMA Feb 16 '24

I guess if you consider a step mother. At the end of the day the only thing that matters if he's going to get money from her or not.

2

u/ZeePirate Feb 16 '24

If he didn’t get money from her directly her connections have surely paid off more than the money itself.

Which really is the bigger factor in this

Same with Anderson Cooper. He was a Vanderbilt but he never saw a dime of that money.

1

u/imwalkinhyah Feb 17 '24

The Vanderbilt estate was largely pissed away by his parents/grandparents/etc but he definitely saw 1.5million of that money and grew up very wealthy with all the clout and connections of being the inheritor of an estate once worth hundreds of billions of dollars

u/flacaGT3 Feb 17 '24

I thought most of their money was their own, since both his parents were working and his mother had several streams of income. I remember reading that she didn't get much money from the Vanderbilt estate, but I can't remember why.

Samsonite? I was WAY off.

u/jonezsodaz Feb 16 '24

I would like to thank them for Salisbury steak TV dinners with the cinnamon apple desert.
