The Breakers was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, grandson of "The Commodore" Cornelius Vanderbilt who established the family fortune. It was designed by preeminent American architect Richard Morris Hunt, who built many of the family's lavish mansions, and completed it in only two years in 1895 at the then-astronomical cost of more than $7 million (approximately $150 million in today's dollars adjusted for inflation).
