John Jacob Astor was, without exception, the wealthiest passenger aboard Titanic.

He had married Miss Madeleine Force in Providence, Rhode Island on September 9th, 1911.

John Jacob Astor was head of the Astor family, with a personal fortune of approximately $150,000,000.

Also traveling with John Jacob Astor was his personal manservant, Victor Robbins, plus Madeleine Talmage Astor's personal maid, Rosalie Bidios, and finally, Caroline Endres, Madeleine Talmage Astor's nursemaid, with her on the voyage because of her pregnancy.
