The Stibbert family's extreme wealth came from Frederick's grandfather, Giles Stibbert, who was the commander in chief for the British East India Company in Bengal at the end of the 18th century. Frederick Stibbert inherited the entire estate from his grandfather and did not work for the rest of his life.
