Edward Sutton VII

Edward Sutton VII was the 6th Duke of Newcastle, and held the title from 497 K.C. - 526 K.C. He was regarded as a financial genius, and more than doubled the Sutton fortune in his lifetime. He began by selling off a portion of the highly desirable land the family held in Newcastle County. He invested the money in contemporary artwork, most notably the nine, marble sculptures, which still reside in the great hall at Castle Sutton. They are valued at more than $16,000,000.
