Controversy & Luxury: Inside McDonald’s Founders’ Modest Homes and Ray Kroc’s Extravagant Estate

[@craiggillett5985]

Thank you for telling the original and authentic story of the McDonalds brothers and Kroc, it’s amazing how many people don’t realise how the chain started.

[@BellaCroyda]

Thank you for giving us the REAL history of McDonald's. Surprisingly Kroc kept the McDonald's name.

[@bigcarlover]

Well, everyone knows the name Kroc is associated with ugly shoes! 🤣

[@nightrunner1456]

Great information easy to follow, reading the book, Behind the Arches, also good. Super homes!

[@nightrunner1456]

Super!

[@Idontknowho.]

The Founder is a great movie based on the story of the Mc Donald brother's.

2:45 I used to live behind that store and I even worked there once as an emergency back up crewman. I came in from store number 89 out in the 'Burbs.

[@nightrunner1456]

The man who started, Flying-J, truck stop, started on a shoestring, like Ray Kroc.

[@myrrhkablam]

I love the story telling almost as much as the gorgeous houses!

[@jeremiahglass8262]

Criminally undersub’d channel. Great content…it will “take off” sometime soon!!

[@garryferrington811]

Ray Kroc helped a lot of small-scale entrepreneurs become financially independent. Starbucks never helped anyone.

Thanks for explaining the original McDonald’s owners….

I ate at the original McDonald's as a child (with my parents) and loved the french fries. The San Bernardino house is still there and sadly subject to serial flippers. Last I knew, it was still unoccupied and half finished inside.

[@sandrashevel2137]

So sad

I like the story of the Kroc butler "Edwards." He never told them about his history. He was Edward Everett Tanner III who wrote using several pen names. He authored books like House Party (basis for the Phyllis Diller show) under the name Virginia Rowans and Little Me (Broadway musical); Guestward Ho (tv show); and most famously the book that became a Broadway play; than a movie; then a Broadway musical; and finally a movie musical: Auntie Mame all under the name Patrick Dennis.

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Yessssss!

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Mostly Patrick Dennis and he wrote 17 hilarious novels I’ve read all but one. Uncle Mame is his biography

[@LJB103]

@@jeffreymartin6369 I don't remember reading The Joyous Season, and House Party was the only one "by" Virginia Rowans that I've read. My favorite was First Lady (sure the photos have something to do with this).

[@sprague49]

"The Pruitts of Southampton", Phyllis Diller's sitcom based on House Party was one of my favorite shows for the 1966-1967 season. Diller was one of a kind.

[@LJB103]

@@sprague49 Agreed.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

50 bathrooms?!? 😮 I wouldn't like to be the maid in that house!

[@LinneaTobias]

I love the stone!

[@dennisthomas6782]

We use to get a hamburger fries and shake for 1 dollar when I was a kid ❤

[@califdad4]

At the closed place with their pictures I wonder if that Buick Roadmaster convertible belongs to one of the brothers

[@garyfrancis6193]

Kroc house is the nest design I have ever seen.

[@dananderson3077]

Interesting and yes, Ray Kroc was a crook....

[@JSB1882]

The McDonalds tried to do the right thing with their food and their customers, and Kroc was just greedy.

[@FactbasedReality0421]

Ray Kroc is the Elon Musk of his day.

[@michaelmyers1779]

Nahhh he was ray kroc. That wasn't the comment u wanted it to be

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Kroc was a jerk. Greedy and arrogant. Sadly the McDonald Brothers didn’t get rich off their beloved business

[@anthonypopola5773]

It’s called capitalism, they didn’t have the ambition to expand the way Kroc did…..

[@patmcdonald766]

Kroc owes us McDonalds Billions from stealing our stuff.
