When you thought social media couldn’t handle much more excitement, a crazy crossover story broke out on X (formerly known as Twitter). People on the platform can’t believe the revelation that Brandi Love, an adult film star better known by her birth name Tracey Lynn Livermore, is the great-granddaughter of infamous Wall Street man Jesse Lauriston Livermore.
The Viral Chain Reaction
It began with a tweet about Livermore being a legendary and tragic stock trader genius, who is listed below in some key points:
“arguably the greatest trader of all time
bankrupt 3 times
sued by his russian mistress
pivoted to selling a technical analysis system
shot himself
died penniless
You’re closer than you think, anon.”
And then came a follow-up post in this thread, which went viral:
“> great granddaughter does p*rn” with a Wikipedia page screenshot for Brandi Love featuring Livermore as her relation.
A third person came into the mix with a strong reaction:
“YO WHAT Omfg” and a further screenshot verified this link.
Within an hour, the financial Twitter community, the pornography Twitter community, and those who love drama were active in the comments.
Who Was Jesse Livermore Anyway
Livermore wasn’t only a trader, he was a cautionary tale ushered in with a pinstripe suit. He rose to fame in the first half of the 1900s for amassing and then losing monumental sums of money on Wall Street, most notably by short-selling before the 1929 crash.
Ultimately, he took his own life, allegedly broke, alone, and exhausted from chasing a market he had once mastered for so many years.
Today, many generations later, the Livermore name is being mentioned in a different field.
Internet Reactions From Shock to Think Pieces
Reactions ranged from shouting answers to well-thought-out ones in a matter of minutes.
Some kept it light:
- “Brandi Love is an OG.”
- “This is crazy,”
- “She’s doing it for the love of the game.”
Others viewed it simply as fate:
- “Trading isn’t for everyone.”
- “His great-granddaughter chose the right path.”
- “Sad, generational pain”
- “He accumulated big wealth so he could fund the dreams of his granddaughter.”
And then came jokes: “I’m holding bags and losing money trading for my granddaughter staying off OnlyFans in 2070.”
And of course, opinions: “Explains her politics.”
A Timeline No One Could Have Predicted
This tale borders on being unbelievable, almost until it stops being so, a financial legend who existed on the brink of greatness and disaster. Many years later, his great-granddaughter will emerge as a famous figure in adult entertainment. It’s more than just celebrity facts. It’s history on Wall Street meeting the Internet culture in a bright, colorful, and electric way. It shows you can’t be defined by your bloodline, and that fame is tied to its time.
