John Jacob Astor went down with the Titanic. All the money in the world didn’t make him less mortal than the rest of the passengers who drowned/froze to death with him. John Jacob Astor died in 1848 at the age of 85--64 years before Titanic was wrecked.

I believe RooRoobird20 had in mind John Jacob Astor IV, "...the richest passenger aboard the Titanic and was thought to be among the richest people in the world at that time, with a net worth of nearly $87 million when he died (equivalent to $2.16 billion in 2016)" [
Wikipedia]. Rich guys tend to have others who follow them who use the same name.
