No, I've been to Biltmore and no one lives there, it's a museum.
Then again I did see an old guy walking around in his bathrobe drinking coffee, so you might be correct.
I didnt say lived there
The Biltmore House is the largest privately-owned home in America. This French Renaissance chateau is located near Asheville, North Carolina. It was built between 1888 and 1895 by George Vanderbilt II and covers 4 acres with175,000 square feet. The house has 250 rooms, including 35 guest and family rooms, 43 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, and 65 fireplaces.
"A museum is a non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, the tangible and intangible evidence of people and their environment."
The Biltmore is NOT a non profit organization, its privately owned,
Biltmore is still family-owned. George and Edith Vanderbilt had one child, Cornelia, who married British diplomat John Francis Amherst Cecil in 1924. The Cecils had two sons: one is William A. V. Cecil, Biltmore's owner. His son, Bill Cecil, Jr., is chief executive officer of The Biltmore Company, which includes Biltmore House & Gardens; Antler Hill Village which encompasses the Winery and Farm; Inn on Biltmore Estate; Biltmore Estate Wine Company; and Biltmore licensed products.
My understanding is that he didn't outright tell them who to vote for , this was more of an indirect threat.
Direct or indirect, doesn't matter.

Oh please. Stop with the "entitlement society." You're being childish. Smack your forehead all you want. My comment is based on personal rights. Voting is a personal right and an employer cannot threaten termination if the employee doesn't vote the way the employer wants.
guy seems like a total POS if you ask me. He's everything that's wrong with the world..............
I think it's messed up to dangle a persons livelihood in front of them in hopes of getting them to support a candidate. He of course would say that us middle class folks are just jealous of him and his trophy wife because we lack the power to threaten people like that.
The Biltmore is a museum, no family has lived there since 1956.
uhm
the Biltmore was a HOME built by one of the Vanderbuilts....just like the Vanderbuilt mansion here on Long island
