<P> FIRST CLASS . NAME - J.J. ASTOR IV </P> <P> Astor was buried in Trinity Church Cemetery in Manhattan, New York City . Four months after the Titanic sank, Madeleine Astor gave birth to his second son, John Jacob "Jakey" Astor VI . </P> <P> Astor left $69 million of his $85 million estate (equivalent to approximately $1.75 billion in 2017 dollars) to Vincent . This value included his estate in Rhinebeck and his yacht, the Noma . To Madeleine Force Astor, he left $100,000 as an outright bequest as well as a $5 million trust fund from which she was provided an income . Additionally she was given the use of his New York City mansion at 65th Street & Fifth Avenue and all its furnishings, his Newport mansion Beechwood and all its furnishings, pick of whichever luxury limousine she wanted from his collection, and five of his prized horses--as long as she did not remarry . His daughter Ava (who lived with her mother, also named Ava) received a $10 million trust fund . Upon turning 21, John Jacob VI inherited the $3 million trust fund Astor had set aside for him . </P> <P> According to Walter Lord, "After (the Titanic) sank, the New York American broke the news on April 16 with a lead devoted almost entirely to John Jacob Astor; at the end it mentioned that 1800 others were also lost ." Astor's prominence led to the creation of many exaggerated and unsubstantiated accounts about his actions during the sinking of the Titanic . One story alleges that he opened the ship's kennel and released the dogs, including his own beloved Airedale, Kitty; in another, he placed a woman's hat on a boy to make sure the child was able to get into a lifeboat . Another legend claims that after the ship hit the iceberg, he quipped, "I asked for ice, but this is ridiculous ." These stories appeared in newspapers, magazines, and even books about the sinking . In reality, none of the claims about Astor's actions were substantiated, as nobody who recognized him survived other than the women who boarded lifeboats relatively early on . Wade wrote that the ice joke is almost certainly apocryphal, as Astor was not known for making jokes, and that the story about the hat (like many other "survivor stories" published shortly after the sinking) may have been invented by the reporter . Another legend is that Astor was crushed to death by one of the ship's falling funnels . However, this legend was not true . </P>
