Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury, was one of Britain's wealthiest men, a scion of a historic family whose assets included grand properties in the UK and France, a 9,000-acre estate, and works of art worth tens of millions of pounds. Anthony split his time between his ancestral family home in Dorset and the French Riviera, where he enjoyed a hedonistic lifestyle of drink, drugs, and sex, all funded by his multi-million-pound inheritance.
