25 Most Unbelievable NEWPORT MANSIONS
25 Most Unbelievable NEWPORT MANSIONS
Newport! A place known as the sailing capital of the world, a destination for lavish iconic estates, and one that has always played host to some pretty big money!
Today, we are taking you to Newport, RI. A city which may well belong to the tiniest state in the country, but don’t ever let that fool you!
Located on the southern tip of Rhode Island’s Aquidneck Island, this seaside escape played a major role in past ages as the place where American aristocracy would spend their summers.
Recognized as America’s first resort, it was a massive haven for all types of mansions and “summer cottages” from the Victorian era, to the Gilded Age, well into the roaring twenties.
Today, you will find much of Newport’s historic mansions still standing. And if you’ve got a few minutes to spare, you can come along with us on our tour of the most memorable, most outstanding mansions in this most opulent city.
Our tour will take you down its iconic Cliff Walk, then up its posh Bellevue Ave, and to a few random spots we bet you didn’t even know about.
So without further ado, here are the 25 most unbelievable Newport mansions!

Aloha PATRON.Hi you? Howz 🔥 it Uncle Unti. Sending you BLESSINGS today from my phone. Mahalo I hope your home b filled with KALIKLMAKA 🤴☃️
Marble House has 500,000 cubic feet of marble, not 500.
Something tells me there was a lot of corruption going on, with all these homes just being donated to universities. Done things never change, they just get worse with time
Excellent video. Thank you.
Mr. Leno is definitely living well in that monster.. what a great deal he got on that beauty.
so who are the 6 Jews who own withch towns?
Love the content. Not the music.
Great video! You could easily do a video on the many mansions that have been destroyed in Newport. As beautiful as it is now they were twice as many incredible estates.
14:20 I love how he said she moved from Land’s end to The Mount as a downsize, like she moved into a two-bedroom apartment or started doing Van Life or something. 💀
Couldn’t these videos be narrated by a real person? They would be more interesting.
Thanks, nice video.
I loved Jay Leno’s house, it was lovely and well decorated.
cool
I’ve fallen in love with the Guilded Age. It harkens back to a time when America was truly booming. Now we seem to be in decay 😢
I visited the Breakers…it was truly magical…at the top of the stairs I gazed over the balcony and lost myself in a make believe ball …the beautiful ballgowns with tiny waists…the gentlemen spinning them in their black tails….I longed to go downstairs and join in
We are looking at visiting Newport in Oct 2023. Not sure which ones I’ll visit, but a few for sure.
That’s Miramar not Clarendon court. Trust me my family owned Miramar and I’m pretty insulted that you got it incorrect.
I visited one of the mansions years ago that had a gold carriage, a huge chandelier, and I remember a painting that had eyes following you. Cant remember the name of it.
One of my distant ancestors founded #9…how cool is that? Cheers from Toronto Canada
Miramar went for 17.5 million to the ford family. I would know it’s my families home.
I have lived here for over 20 years and have not heard of most of these. I do feel fortunate, I bought a condo in one of the mansions here on Rhode Island avenue – I still can’t believe I live there.
I was there in September 1994.
Rosecliff has always been my favorite.
That hasn’t changed since I moved to Aquidneck Island 4 years ago.
There is no such thing as "American aristocracy", that is an oxymoron. What you had was a plutocracy, which is a ruling class formed by awfully wealthy people. Nothing has changed since the late 19th century, the only difference is that instead of identifiable, greedy and ruthless multimillionaires (J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, etc) you now have corporations who are 100 times worse.
Patterson will pay !!!!
I find it fairly weird that people name their home.
eat the rich.
Thank you very much for this wonderful and most informative tour.
(Just a small suggestion – I found the background music a little incongruous with the subject matter. Perhaps something less techo/mechanical and fast-paced might have set a more appropriate mood?).
a city which may well be in the smallest state? Did AI write this.
I was hoping you’d mention Hammersmith Farm, though not opulent and probably still a private residence. I was lucky enough to tour there, and loved being able to see a part of the Kennedy history. I love Newport and the Doris Duke mansion is still on my bucket list.

They are all beautiful 😍 but #2 looks like the playboy mansion in CA😂
In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if all these homes were were haunted!😬 So much history.
How fascinating to see #1 & #25 designed by distant ancestor George Champlin Mason.
The more I see, these homes are Fugly
So you plan on visiting some of these house museums, do you? Awesome!

Homes like this inspired me to name my home
My favourite is The Elms but honestly Newport makes me feel a bit sick. Ostentatious over indulgence.
Thank you for the tour. Well shot, nimbly edited and loaded with historic references.
Excellent!👍🇨🇦
not quite aure about here but with the women arrangeing to betogether with and book well money is not bad but what you do with it hedonism comes to mind here not discrete and special at least if not even more without all the immaturity of girls romance like fabio exclusives but discrete but not hidden causing paparousy too boomerang on us hedineedism that im not into at all
Love your videos thank you
Marble House has 500,000 cubic feet of marble, not 500. You might want to correct this.
What one had a visiting thing on youtube ?
Roseclicff is my favorite.
I love the French. They make exceptional toast, wonderful fries and they kiss so nicely.
Sounds like the “Old Money” is running out. 😊
Why would you use a photo of The Vanderbilt Mansion to promote about Newport mansions?
Loved ALL of them….and a great bonus was that you could pronounce all their names correctly"
amazing
Number 7 was featured as Collinwood in Dark Shadows original TV series: I’m surprised that was not mentioned. As soon as I saw it, I thought "HEY!"
Seaview was used as the exterior of the Collins family mansion in the soap opera Dark Shadows. You had to rush home every day after school to see what mischief Barnabas had gotten into. ;o)
