Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt (1880 – September 4, 1925) was an American millionaire equestrian and the father of fashion desinger Gloria Vanderbilt. He was the founder and president of many equestrian organizations.
Life and career
He was the youngest son of Cornelius Vanderbilt II and Alice Claypoole Gwynne. Reginald was a grandson of William Henry Vanderbilt, and great-grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. He attended Yale University, but did not graduate. In 1903 he married Cathleen Neilson. The couple had a daughter, Cathleen Vanderbilt, and were divorced in 1920. Vanderbilt remarried on March 6, 1923 to Gloria Morgan with whom he had a second daughter, fashion designer Gloria Laura Vanderbilt. He died suddenly in 1925 at Sandy Point Farm in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Reginald was a lazy alcoholic who wasted millions of dollars from his family inheritance on women, liquor, fine food, automobiles and other lavish "toys", and especially gambling.
