Wealth, power, and influence. J.P Morgan had it all. He owned the first billion-dollar company. He dominated the country’s most profitable industries. And on multiple occasions, the economy of The United States quite literally depended on the actions of J.P. Morgan. With a simple word or the stroke of a pen, John Pierpont Morgan could save a company from collapse or doom it to bankruptcy. There will never be another man quite like JP Morgan - literally, he is part of the reason the federal reserve was created so that the finances of a country wouldn’t be in the hands of one ultra wealthy and influential financier.

This MagnatesMedia documentary is the story of JP Morgan - aka John Pierpont Morgan: the banker who owned America. We’ll look at how he pioneered Morganization to consolidate companies and grow his fortune, how he made deals with the government to help stabilize the economy (e.g. through a gold syndicate), and even the troubled personal life of John Pierpont Morgan - who despite his wealth and business / financial success was plagued by tragedy. Of course long after JP Morgan died his legacy has lived on through his bank (now JPMorgan Chase), and so I hope you enjoy the history of the industrialist and magnate, John Pierpont Morgan.

In 1957, when McDonald’s was doubling the number of restaurants it opened every year, a little-known Florida start-up called Insta-Burger was on the brink of bankruptcy and fighting to keep its doors open. However, this failing business would later become the global fast food empire Burger King, making tens of billions of dollars a year, and operating in over 100 countries around the world. The truth of how they achieved this is crazy, and involves smashing up their own equipment with a hatchet. But, whilst Burger King is undeniably an inspiring underdog entrepreneurial success story, there’s also a dark twist. Because the secret to Burger King’s success… was stolen. In this story of Burger king, we’ll see how Burger King became successful, the company’s successes and failures, and lots more fascinating details about the history of Burger King.

Burger King started out as 1 single store called ‘Insta-Burger’, and it was failing horribly. This video is a journey through BK’s crazy history, and how it became a fast food empire (thanks to smashing up their equipment, stealing ideas, and making ridiculous financial decisions). Welcome to the INSANE Story of Burger by MagnatesMedia (business mini movies / business documentaries).

Skype launched nearly a decade before Zoom, so why does everyone use Zoom now instead? Before the pandemic shut down the world, Skype held the largest share of the video-calling market. So when businesses, friends, and families had no choice but to interact with each other through their screens, Skype was set to see the sort of growth other companies can only dream of. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Zoom seemed to pop up out of nowhere and take over the industry in what felt like the blink of an eye. So what exactly did happen? How did Zoom’s founder, who moved to the US unable to speak a word of English, beat Microsoft, and build the number one video calling platform in the world? And how did a young man’s desire to see his girlfriend turn into a company worth billions of dollars? This is the incredible love story that changed the world. This is the inspiring true story of Zoom. In this video we’ll answer questions like: How did Zoom become so successful? Why did Zoom become so popular? And we’ll not just look at Zoom vs Skype, but the battle for the whole video conferencing market. I hope you enjoy the history of Zoom.

Henry Ford built a business empire, and completely revolutionized not just the car industry, but business as we know it. He pioneered assembly line production, the five day work week, and countless more innovations. But this is certainly not a straightforward success story. Henry Ford’s life is wrapped in controversy, failures, and obsessive genius. We’ll not only look at Henry Ford’s astonishing rise, but also his lesser known projects, like the time he tried to build his own weird American town called Fordlandia, in the heart of the Brazilian rainforest. We’ll also look at the very dark truth about Henry Ford, and why one of his biggest fans was Adolf Hitler. This is a business story of innovation and success - a brutal struggle for wealth and power. This is the shocking true story of Henry Ford, and the history of The Ford Motor Company.

At first, Nintendo had nothing to do with video gaming. Its president Hiroshi Yamauchi didn’t even play video games. Instead, Nintendo made hanafuda playing cards which were used to gamble, and their biggest customer was the Yakuza (essentially the Japanese Mafia). So, how did a small family-run card business turn into one of the best-selling gaming companies of all time - responsible for some of the most iconic characters ever created like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and so many more? As well as creating countless iconic consoles like the Gameboy, Wii, Switch and NES. It’s time to take a journey through Nintendo’s epic history. We'll not only cover Nintendo's strange origin story and the full Nintendo history, but also the birth of Mario, the Kirby vs King Kong lawsuit, the console wars with Sega, how Nintendo betrayed Sony, and so much more from Nintendo's crazy past. This is the insane story of Nintendo - a MagnatesMedia business documentary.

The disturbing business of bananas - a documentary looking at the dark history of the banana industry & The United Fruit Company. This involves the coup in Honduras, the banana massacre, and overthrowing the democratically-elected Guatemalan leader.

The banana industry is responsible for massacres, revolutions, wars, and secret deals with the CIA. At one point, the world’s largest banana company practically acted like a government in Central America, controlling most of their land and infrastructure. They were responsible for overthrowing presidents who tried to give workers more rights, and installing leaders who helped the banana companies make more money. Honestly, after this video, you will never look at a banana the same way again. This is the disturbing true story of the banana business.

In episode 1 of this banana business series, we looked at the rise of Sam, the banana man - how a penniless immigrant made a fortune selling ripe bananas, and worked his way up to becoming a major player in the banana business. But in this episode, we’re going to look at what happened next, as once Samuel Zemurray became involved with a company called United Fruit, the story takes a much darker turn. If you enjoy dark business documentaries about powerful corporations, the disturbing history of the banana industry is for you.
