Kennet Hollister Straus

Kennet Hollister Straus is the great-grandson of Isidor Straus, one of the wealthiest passengers on the Titanic, and he recently made headlines when a gold pocket watch belonging to his ancestor was sold at auction for a record-breaking $2.34 million. The watch, a gift from Isidor's wife Ida on his 43rd birthday, holds historical significance as it symbolizes the enduring love story of the Straus couple, who both perished during the Titanic disaster in 1912.
