Andrew Cabot, the CEO of Privateer Rum, isn’t just a businessman; he reportedly belongs to one of Boston’s oldest and most affluent families. The Cabots are often referenced in New England high society as part of the elite Boston Brahmins. Their wealth reportedly stretches back over two centuries and has its roots in both maritime trade and industrial enterprise.

According to a profile once published by The New York Times, the Cabot family’s fortune was estimated at 200 million in the 1970s, a figure that would be worth over 15 billion in today’s terms. The New York Post recently reported that Andrew and Kristin purchased a 2.2 million home on the New Hampshire coast earlier this year.

The Cabots originally built their wealth through the trade of carbon black, a key material used in manufacturing tires. Their financial roots trace back even further to the 19th-century shipping industry, which included involvement in controversial trades such as opium and slavery, as reported by historical archives.
