Early lifeCountess Széchenyi was born Gladys Moore Vanderbilt in 1886, the seventh and youngest child of Alice Claypoole Gwynne and Cornelius Vanderbilt II, the president and chairman of the New York Central Railroad. Gladys grew up in the family home on Fifth Avenue in New York City, and their summer "cottage," The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island.[1] She attended Miss Chapin's School in New York.[2] Her first cousin was Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough, who married Charles Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough.[3] LifeShe inherited about $25 million from her father's estate and a further $5 million from her mother's estate.[3] She also inherited The Breakers. In 1948, as a widow, she leased The Breakers to the Preservation Society of Newport County for $1 a year. She continued to maintain an apartment in The Breakers by agreement until her death. In 1913, there were rumors that Vanderbilt was going to leave her husband due to his financial woes,[4] including gambling away all of her dowry.[5] War aidIn 1914, during World War I, she placed her palace in Budapest at the disposal of the army. Shortly thereafter, 600 reservists were quartered there, and the Countess further intended to use the palace as a hospital.[6][7] Personal lifeOn January 27, 1908, Vanderbilt married Hungarian Count László Széchenyi (1879–1938) in New York City.[8][9] The couple visited Hungary[10] almost every summer with their five daughters:
Countess Széchenyi died in 1965. In 1972, the Preservation Society purchased The Breakers for $365,000 from Gladys' heirs.[14] Her daughter, Countess Sylvia Szapáry maintained a residence at her grandparents' summer "cottage",[15] on the third floor until her death on March 1, 1998. DescendantsThrough her eldest daughter, Cornelia, she was the grandmother of three, Gladys Roberts (b. 1934), Cornelia Roberts (1936–1982), who married Count Hans-Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1926–2004), and Eugene Bowie Roberts, Jr. (b. 1939). Through her daughter Alice, she was grandmother to Count László Hadik (1932–1973) and Count János Hadik (b. 1933). Through her daughter, Gladys, she was the grandmother of Christopher Denys Stormont Finch-Hatton, the 16th Earl of Winchilsea (1936–1999) and the Lord Robin Finch-Hatton (b. 1939). Through her daughter Sylvia, she was the grandmother of Count Pál László Szapáry (b. 1950) and Countess Gladys Vanderbilt Szapáry (b. 1952). Through her youngest child, Ferdinandine, she was the grandmother of Count Peter zu Eltz (b. 1948) and Count Nicholas zu Eltz (1950-2012).[16] References{{commons category|Gladys Vanderbilt Széchényi}}1. ^{{cite book |title=Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt |last=Vanderbilt |first=Arthur T., II |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1989 |publisher=Morrow |location=New York |isbn=0-688-07279-8 |pages= }} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Szechenyi, Gladys Vanderbilt}}2. ^ 3. ^{{cite news|title=GLADYS VANDERBILT IS 21.; She Will Soon Receive $12,500,000 from Her Father's Estate.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1907/08/25/archives/gladys-vanderbilt-is-21-she-will-soon-receive-12500000-from-her.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=25 August 1907}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Times|first1=Special Cable To The New York|title=SZECHENYI SUFFERS FINANCIAL LOSSES; With His Wife, Formerly Gladys Vanderbilt, He May Leave Hungary for London.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1913/04/20/archives/szechenyi-suffers-financial-losses-with-his-wife-formerly-gladys.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=20 April 1913}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Times|first1=Special Cable To The New York|title=MAY BE SZECHENYI DIVORCE; Budapest Reports That the Former Gladys Vanderbilt Will Sue.|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F0DEED6153FE633A25752C3A9619C946296D6CF&legacy=true|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=31 July 1913}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=COUNTESS SZECHENYI HELPS.; Former Gladys Vanderbilt Gives Use of Palace to Army.|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B06E2DB1438E033A25750C0A96E9C946596D6CF&legacy=true|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=3 August 1914}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Service|first1=International Film|title=COUNTESS SZECHENYI'S STORY; Former Gladys Vanderbilt Describes Privations and Sufferings in Hungary, Where She Barely Escaped Russians Countess Szechenyi's Story|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E01EFDE123BEE32A25754C0A9649D946896D6CF&legacy=true|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=7 December 1919}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=THE VANDERBILT WEDDING.; Miss Gladys to Become Count Szechenyi's Bride on Jan. 27.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1908/01/07/archives/the-vanderbilt-wedding-miss-gladys-to-become-count-szechenyis-bride.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=7 January 1908}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=THE HOUSE OF SZECHENYI IN MAGYAR ANNALS; Long and Hungarian Family Into Which Miss Gladys Vanderbilt will be Married To-morrow.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1908/01/26/archives/the-house-of-szechenyi-in-magyar-annals-long-and-hungarian-family.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=26 January 1908}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=BALL FOR SZECHENYIS.; Former Miss Vanderbilt Meets the Magyar Aristocracy at Budapest.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1908/05/10/archives/ball-for-szechenyis-former-miss-vanderbilt-meets-the-magyar.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=10 May 1908}} 11. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Times|first1=Special Cable To The New York|title=DAUGHTER TO SZECHENYIS.; Former Miss Gladys Vanderbilt Becomes a Mother at Her Castle|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1908/10/28/archives/daughter-to-szechenyis-former-miss-gladys-vanderbilt-becomes-a.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=28 October 1908}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=SZECHENYI'S SECOND CHILD.; Daughter Born to Him and the Countess -- Son to Viscountess Maidstone.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1911/08/05/archives/szechenyis-second-child-daughter-born-to-him-and-the-countess-son.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=5 August 1911}} 13. ^{{cite news|last1=Times|first1=Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph To The New York|title=DAUGHTER TO SZECHENYIS.; She Was Born at Her Parents' English Home on Thursday.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1913/08/16/archives/daughter-to-szechenyis-she-was-born-at-her-parents-english-home-on.html|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=16 August 1913}} 14. ^http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/a/c/Ellsworth-J-La-coste-/BOOK-0001/0082-0015.html 15. ^{{cite news|last1=Times|first1=Special To The New York|title=Countess Szechenyi a Citizen|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B04E3DA133CE13BBC4B51DFBF66838C659EDE&legacy=true|accessdate=28 April 2017|work=The New York Times|date=23 September 1947}} 16. ^{{cite book|url=http://194.171.109.12/download/cbg_patriciaat_lijst.pdf |title=List of Dutch patrician families in the Nederland's Patriciaat 1910-2007/2008}} 8 : 1886 births|1965 deaths|American socialites|Vanderbilt family|Széchenyi family|Hungarian countesses|American emigrants to Hungary|Hungarian people of Dutch descent |
