Until I looked around some more and found a New York Times article titled "Son For Mrs. Astor; Named For Father" (published on August 15, 1912) I was under the impression that the child with whom Madelain was pregnant while on the Titanic was unintionally disinherited. However, according to the article, while he was not mentioned by name, John Jacob Astor had provided for any posthumous children, which is what John Jacob Astor VI was. He was left $3,000,000 in trust.

According to the following New York Times article titled "27,593 To Maintain Astor Baby For A Year" published on April 29, 1916, the trust earned an income in 1915 in excess of $150,000.
