The Banana Billionaire- The INSANE True Story The banana king was one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. When a country’s government didn’t give him what he wanted, he simply overthrew the government. He declared literal war on his competitors. And he built a gigantic business empire from nothing. You see, before he became the banana king, this man was simply known as Sam - an immigrant with no money, no connections, and no real hope. Sam’s journey to building such a successful company is an astonishing underdog story. And throughout his life, Sam became entangled with countless famous figures, from US presidents to business magnates like JP Morgan. And yet it all begins, with ripe bananas. However, I must warn you: what starts out as an inspirational success story will later take a much darker disturbing turn. As Sam became involved with an extremely controversial company called United Fruit, otherwise known as The Octopus - because of how they wrapped their tentacles around everyone, and caused devastating consequences. Honestly, I’ve covered a lot of fascinating business stories, but this is one of the craziest. You may never have heard the name Sam Zemurray before, but by the end of this video, you’ll be glad you did. This is the insane true story of the banana king - one of the craziest business stories!

PT Barnum Documentary / PT Barnum Movie.... P.T. Barnum was one of the richest and most famous men in America. And then in a matter of weeks… he lost everything. On the one hand, this is a story about a man who built his fortune through lies, and exploitation. Because before Barnum was a successful businessman and global celebrity, he scammed people out of their money by claiming he’d discovered mermaids, cavemen, and a 161 year-old woman (Joice Heth). And the truth is much darker and twisted than you may think. But on the other hand, this is also the story of an incredibly creative and hard-working entrepreneur who climbed all the way to the top, lost everything, and then rose from the ashes to become an even greater success. Eventually, Barnum became the world’s greatest showman; He completely transformed the great American circus, and his spectacular performances were sought after by the likes of the Queen of England, and the King of France.

McDonald’s Movie - The INSANE Story of McDonald’s by MagnatesMedia… McDonald’s is the largest restaurant chain in the world, with over 40,000 restaurants spread over 120 countries. By this point, the golden arches are an inescapable sight everywhere you go, and McDonald’s has sold well over 300 billion hamburgers. But the original McDonald brothers who started the business, had their company all but stolen from them. Because what began as a single drive-in restaurant was soon transformed into a global fast food empire because of an unrelenting milkshake machine salesman (Ray Kroc). And even though it may appear to be a simple burger business from the outside, McDonald’s secretly dominates an entirely different industry completely unrelated to selling fast food. At times, McDonald’s is an inspiring story of an entrepreneur defying all the odds and building an empire. But at the same time, it's a story of betrayal, fraud, and countless scandals. At one point, McDonald’s even came face to face with the Italian mafia. If you’ve ever wondered how McDonald’s started, how McDonald’s got so big, or the truth about McDonald’s history & Ray Kroc / The McDonald Brothers, this McDonald’s documentary is for you. Let’s journey through the insane history of McDonald’s.

THE STORY OF JOHN D ROCKEFELLER - The business magnate and richest man in the world (and the world’s first billionaire). There was a time when anyone would tremble upon hearing the name John D. Rockefeller. Not only was he the world’s first billionaire, he’s one of the richest people in history. His empire - Standard Oil - became the most dominant monopoly in the world by brutally crushing competitors, taking control of multiple industries, bribing the government into submission, and treating business as if it was war. Because of his ruthless business practices and secretive deals, Rockefeller made many enemies. His career is filled with bitter rivalries like with Andrew Carnegie, and even ferocious battles against US Presidents. But, before he was the titan of the oil industry, Rockefeller was at the very bottom of society. His story is one of only a handful of cases where someone manages to rise from the depths of poverty, to the absolute peak of wealth and power. Rockefeller’s story is at times inspiring, and at times… chilling. It’s an example of what happens when greed and ambition go completely unchecked. This Rockefeller documentary shows the insane true story of John D Rockefeller, the history of Standard Oil and one of the craziest rags to riches stories. At times it’s an inspiring business story with lessons for entrepreneurs, at other times it’s a dark business story showing the worst of corporate greed. And after crushing his competition, through a series of strategic investments Rockefeller became the richest person in the world (even surpassing Andrew Carnegie). Adjusting for inflation, he is one of the richest self made men in history. And when his business empire got split up and he got given shares in other companies, he became even richer as their stock price soared on the stock market. But before all that wealth, let me take you back to 1839, where a young John D. Rockefeller is born into poverty… For more business stories about business magnates and titans of industry, subscribe to MagnatesMedia.
