Hershey's is one of the biggest chocolate companies in the world, worth nearly $47 billion dollars. And yet, the Hershey Company was founded by a boy who struggled through poverty and went bankrupt multiple times. This is the true rags to riches story of a chocolate empire - this is the insane and inspiring story of Milton Hershey.
Milton Hershey’s early life was difficult to say the least. He was born in 1857 in a rural dairy farming community called Derry Township, in Pennsylvania. Whilst Milton’s parents both came from respectable families, Milton’s father Henry, had a bad habit of falling for shady get-rich-quick-schemes. You see, Henry had always been determined to succeed in business, but he would rarely stick to any of the projects he started. He tried and failed 17 different businesses before moving the family to Oil City, Pennsylvania - and they only moved there because he was trying to get rich on a recent oil boom, but they arrived when it was already too late to make any money. Milton was just 4 years old at the time, and his father’s poor financial decisions meant the Hershey family had almost completely run out of money - in fact young Milton was extremely skinny and on the brink of starvation. This is the story of Milton Hershey and the Hershey Company - including Hershey's caramel business, Hershey's chocolate business, and Hershey's philanthropy. It's an inspiring entrepreneurial business success story with business and investment / money lessons for all of us about building wealth.

@Magnesmedia... Please what courses can I take to edit videos that are as good as this
Can you make the video of Vince McMahon and wwe?
bro your motion-graphics are insane please make tutorial
No short cuts, no criminal records nor involvements, compassionate, enduring, kindness and love all over him. This is the best billionaire's history so far..
Corporate espionage isn't a crime? You have some great moral standards
@@kafkaesk3449 okay, but compare him to the rest of the billionaire's history we have watched male and female..
They did do the child labor do
@@fmarianoss by proxy not him...
@@kafkaesk3449 A company committing a crime I mean dude cmon just name me 5 big companies today that have a squeaky clean history of no scandals, crimes, or mass layoffs to increase their QERs. You can critique the company all you want but Milton Hershey and his company has done a lot of good and continues to do so.
Visited Hershey land last year, he’s an inspiration. The trolley tour guide(probably over 65yr old) told us everything about Mr Hersey, and said he was one of the students who received free education at the hershey private school. Said the school changed his life. Said the current CEO of Hersheys was a former graduate too. And that back in the recession he made sure all his employees welfare was well maintained by buying houses and selling it to them at a dirt cheap price like $1 or something
where do you think Milton hershey school gets its funding? the school has a 9 billion trust fund fed by Hershey Entertainment & resort company, the candy division. I still have bad taste in my mouth from my time at The Milt
The Hershey company is prolly one of the most respecable billion dollar companies around nowdays, they do a lot of good with the lots of money they make.
@@phantom4167 yeah right. They don’t do jack shiet with their billions besides fund propaganda and indoctrination of the young and the dumb
@@sashamoore9691 My cousin literally went to the Hershey School, i think im qualified to say they care about people, if it wasnt for Hershey they would have never recieved any sort of real education
God, I haven't been there since I was a child (I'm 19 as of this day). If I ever get the chance to go up the PA someday, that's the first place I'm making a B Line for.
Out of all the billion dollar success stories I've watched. This man is the best 👌🏽 and most helpful. Bad temper or not.
Watching this right now
Quite unlike his father (I’m raging at him) and more like his mother
Agree
💯
Rightttttt
What a really good dude. So glad to hear all he did to help out kids.
I'm so used to these videos showing the dark side of things... I saw your comment before I watched, thought you were being sarcastic lol. But wow, he actually did some great things.
@@LordDecapo sure. Hershey isn’t the same anymore though. 🫠 it wasn’t even good then, he had kids working for him in the beginning 🙃 you really should Google more stuff about him. There’s tonsssssss of bad stuff too.
But look at the state of the education at the time. He gave a chance to progress and yeh you could say that he got a lot of that but without it what were those kids doing at the time. I think maybe you should look at what else kids were doing during those times
@@thebean2476 mate if u r saying that 14 yr olds were working for him in 1900s then u r the idiot one here who needs to Google cause here is the thing.....13 was the age at which legally people were considered as adult
I think he was a secret pedophile. A school for orphan boys? Really suspicious. No one's going to say it so I will. Never had his own children either, wife was a beard.
I live in Hershey and Milton Hershey is such a respected figure here for what he’s done for so many people
its a shame his chocolate tastes like litteral vomit. and cant legaly be labeled as chocolate in europe.
@@expl0sive296 Not everyone likes his sour, curdled milk flavour even though he seemed fond enough of it.
@@expl0sive296 i tasted my vomit before the chocolate tastes better than vomit but milk chocolate tastes 7x better
@@expl0sive296 yeah, that's why Hershey has the biggest market share of any chocolate maker in the US, because it tastes terrible. People only buy it to keep the stinky Europeans away
@@expl0sive296I think that's a tastebuds specific thing. It tastes like that to some people, some people it tastes just fine. It's definitely not anything special but I definitely don't get anything remotely close to it tasting like vomit, though I have heard others voice that exact complaint
My family is from Hershey and I visited the town once back in the 80s. It is a lovely place, clean, cheerful, and the streetlights are shaped like Hershey kisses. A hint of chocolate smell permeates the air. It's refreshing to read about a rich capitalist who, rather than seeking self aggrandizement, sets out to improve lives, leaving the world a better place than it was before his existence.
When there are so many, at least a couple will be like that
@@jamesrosewell9081nah dude don't downplay his actions. For his time period this is like unheard of. Like people definitely do similar feats but it's usually self serving in some way. It seems Hershey was even willing to take loss if it meant it kept his people doing okay. I guess he does benefit form having a stable workforce but usually,and especially in his time period, usually businesses would just have workers trained in simple tasks so they can replace them easily
I live in Pennsylvania near Hershey and Milton Hershey is a huge inspiration here. The Milton Hershey school is a great example of his good will giving education for impoverished, under educated children. He also started a “zoo” to try to conserve the North American species.
Milton is a huge inspiration everywhere......
@@beccamcdonald9846 I have a deep conviction that his tragic love life was what forced Milton Hershey to become what he is. Everything he did was not just out of charity. It was a tribute to his wife Kitty, who passed away only after a few years of marriage ... and to the children he and Kitty wanted, but would never have.
@@meilinchan7314 That does make sense. Is that a found and proved fact? Or is it a legend locals made up? I'm only asking because it sounds interesting.
@@beccamcdonald9846 check his Wikipedia page
I'm crying. Milton Hershey was such a kind hearted person. Wow, created a town, created a school, and made sure a portion of his will go to the school. Wow.
And more important didnt do it for the publicity but to actually help people under the radar
Omg I am tearing up too I didn’t expect this story 🥹
Oh grow up 😂
This is one of the most inspiring historical stories. Awesome stuff.
Milton is definitely one of those people that you don't get often in life but you are happy they exist for the good they done
The storytelling and editing on this channel is insane, especially with just one person doing everything 🤯
It's no longer one person. John's clearly hired people to ramp up the frequency
It be intense . So good I'm surprised Netflix ain't hitting him up with deals with big numbers. He's fûcking great and sounds amazing and I learn so much from him, them whomever running MagnatesMedia. This is by far the best intriguing click provoking videos.
Who told one person? There's a whole team working behind wake up!
This man was an absolute legend. *Deepest bow*
I’m 30 mins away from Hershey, PA. Been to Hershey park a million times and Hershey world a billion. This man is a stud. He did so much for his community. Rip
Nah, brother. This standard of quality is as yet uncharted. I felt I was roller-coasting THROUGH his story as it happened. You could make these video essays three times longer and I would still not even blink. Spectacular.
I guess I'll be getting more Hershey Chocolates now. What a lovely story, knowing that he failed twice young, he still pushed through and became a breakthrough. Not only that, but he genuinely used his money to fund the future.
this is how you leave history, name, legacy and stories like a legends. Milton Hershey is truly a respectable guy
Great video as usual. One suggestion, can you provide sources to your videos so the audience can look more into these stories?
I means a simple google search will do that it’s what I do
@@andyramirez4293 definitely
@@andyramirez4293 it looks like the creator of this video lifted ALOT of the visuals from a documentary / biopic so it couldnt hurt to just ask what it was from.
@@NewMateo well which documentary/bio? Please link source of this claim? You can’t just throw out accusations like that
@andyramirez4293 do you honestly think this man went out and filmed actors for this? What do you think fair use is? Almost every single one of the modern day youtube docs lift visuals from existing documentaries , short films or tv shows done prior. I know this was lifted somewhere as Ive seen the exact same actors in other videos out their. KZhead educational video essays couldnt survive without fair use of prior works.
I actually lived the story while this video plays, this guy is an absolute artist, and this is an absolute masterpiece
@Antibiemedia bro 😂
@Antibiemedia sup ✌️
True, this dude has like mostly hour long vids of high quality and doesn't look like it was made for quick cash He genuinely believes and loves his content What a legend
Wow.... Milton was a great man. Giving so much back to his community and employees.... So many lessons big tech companies can learn. Rest in peace milton hershey What a LEGEND.
Cope
yeah honestly, screw mr beast who just tries to get his fans to say hersheys sucks, mr beast is literally like trying to get people to stop buying hersheys, terrible. Hersheys actually tastes very good, eversince i first tried a hersheys chocolate bar on my trip to seattle when i was 10 in 2016, it's been my favorite thing
@@willsgaming1481 You are either a child or someone so hopefully naive it physcially pains me
@@yosemitesam9576 dude whatever man, mr beast is trying to get people to hate on hersheys just so hersheys gets less customers and his overrated feastables get more sales, thats not acceptable, i like hersheys better ngl. Just because mr beasts products are more popular doesnt mean its better
@@willsgaming1481 No, the issue isn’t Mr.Beast its that candy is literally three companies making the same shit. The whole thing has been a racket every since nestle sold their souls to the devil.
This editing is seriously next level. Amazing work!
It’s done by an AI
Man Milton is one of the best business men to ever exist. What a genuine man.
Wow! What a guy. We could do with a few of them today. People who never forget their roots are more inspiring than anything I can think of. Great video!
Groomer
@@badxradxandy who bill gates? Yeah I mean we got bill gates
I edit videos myself but the editor of this content is the best editor I've seen in my life. Every scene has WEIGHT and it's so CREATIVE. You are the standard of NARRATION and I salute the efforts put into these works. I can imagine the hours and days invested into these projects. I'm truly inspired by your intelligence. God bless you.
🤗😍
Yup I am equally impressed
@@carloslana_ are you the video editor? If so man have you got socials?
When i went to Hershey Pennsylvania as a kid I always thought the street lights were so cool. They were made like Hershey kisses!! The whole town smells like chocolate also 💯
try living there, the smell gets sickening after 6 months
@@harveylong5878 is it the whole town that smells like chocolate or just a part?? I was like 10 years old when I went to the Hershey theme park
@andrew moe Johnson Seems like most of the town considering the accounts on this comment section.
Another fun fact. Reese of Reese's peanut butter cup fame, worked for Mr. Hershey. Struck out on his own and had great success with the peanut butter cup then went back to work for Hershey. The Reese's cup is still a Hershey product to this day. I love that area of PA. Visit often. Especially for concerts in the summer.
My Dad was an orphan and attended the Hershey Industrial School as it was known back then . He did not have happy stories of working long hours on the farm there. But at least he didn't starve. My mother worked at the factory. When we were kids we toured the factory. And at the end of the tour full size candy bars were handed out.
Stop lying
@@Richardwqr hey! It could actually be true
I live in Hershey PA and it’s great here no matter how many times I hear the story it’s always very interesting, and no the chocolate doesn’t get old. 😂
Start a KZhead channel, show us around 🙂
Its nice to hear something like this that is heart warming. Milton was over all a person, and gave back to his workers. Wish this mind set still existed today on a wider scale.
Milton didnt build the town of Hershey out of goodness of his heart. he copied Ford's idea- provide housing etc, he in turn had a slave labor pool. the school he founded had ulterior motives as well
He was Charlie, the golden ticket is a euphemism for his opportunity, and then he became Willy Wonka. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a story about Hershey.
He wasn't Charlie.....he was always Willy Wonka. Remember according to the movies Wonka grew up in poverty too, not just Charlie
The difference between Milton Hershey and Willy Wonka's father is that his father gets swindled by con artists while Wonka's father is a dentist and that impact had on his son Willy to run away from home to run his small business to a giant factory, after building a giant factory he doesn't trust spies disguised as interested candy fanatics because all they are interested is ingredients and how he comes up with ideas, so there is a reason why he tested all kids that got a golden ticket to not sell out to other candy coporations that wants profits and secrets.
@@beccamcdonald9846 Right, he also never had children, so wanted someone like himself to take over the factory/empire. Makes sense that he was Wonka.
these videos are insane, the visuals tie it in together amazingly
I lived in Hershey pa for years. Hershey kiss lamp posts are a staple. You smell chocolate for miles and honestly get sick of it after awhile. Hershey park is awesome and Hershey truly is the sweetest place on earth.
Thanks for your work man❤️... I'll just download all the ones posted now and know I have a lot to watch after exams🙂💓
This video deserves the wait that I've done since your last video. Bro idk but the person that edited this video is fab! I loved editing so so much and if it's possible please make a breakdown video of your edits.
Been waiting for you to post for so long. Thanks alot Magnates Media. I just discovered your channel just about a month ago and I can say I've watched about 80 percent of your videos. I love them so much
I went to Milton Hershey School. It’s one of the best places in the world. Milton Hershey literally changed my life
you took long to drop this video but trust me your efforts were worth. i enjoyed every second of it. One thing i learnt from this vid is that you dont need to chase money. provide value and money will bet thrown to that value. thanks for putting this up. you channel is a big inspiration to me.
Wonderful business movies, you're wonderful John
It's so good
Love ur videos
Dude is a legend. All rich people should be like him
Yeah this guy really does his homework I've seen everyone of his videos keep up the good work
My mom was born and raised in Hershey Pa! My grandfather actually went to the Milton Hershey School and became friends with Milton himself!
Eye-catching visual presentation, good pacing, and informative. Well-written.
What a great story John! Truly inspiring! Love your channel. I can't get enough. 🙏
La manera de narrar estas historias es lo que me impulsa a ver este contenido y ademas aprendo ingles, tengo que controlar la velocidad del video para poder seguir el ritmo del relato. Muy bueno, muy bueno!!!
Just want to let you know I love your Channel. The Inspirational stories about failure and success. I don't see a lot of stories about entrepreneurial women, but still love your channel.
Love your videos as always!
Hershey was such a kind and hard working man. Respect.
Miltin hershey school is a really amazing thing! They were actually in the same division as the high school I went to, and it was crazy when they'd call them out. It's like a college arena "6 ft gaurd, from the Bronx nyc..."
What templates and effects do you use for these videos? The editing is fantastic!
So glad I stumble up on this video. Hershey is a true inspiration. ❤
This channel is amazing. Every story engaging, trying to binge them all
Wow I'm so happy for Milton. Although I wished the guy who figured out how to perfect chocolate could have been his partner or something. Honestly, I would have kept making caramel but he is smart! He saw chocolate as the future and really kind of him to built a town for his employees
I was waiting for the "but now for the dark side" but Hershey seems to be one of the good ones. Another great vid , thanks!
hey i absolutely love your videos and has watched every single one. Keep making videos!
Great editing! Congrats!!
It's almost bizarre hearing stories like this, to the point where they feel fictional... stories about employers actually wanting their employees and society to thrive. The cruelty and hatred among people that exists now is astonishing
I was deeply impressed by the video I watched on KZhead this time. KZhead as a platform for sharing fun, knowledge, and emotions provides a truly amazing experience. The video of the creator's passion, communication habits, artistic production, and excellent technology is as attractive as a movie. I look forward to seeing many fantastic videos through your video.
Oh man thats awesome production!!! Longer! With great content (just include more information) Good Editing + It's relevant unlike just putting stock footage! Great! just like huge Media companies (Netflix etc)
Love! Have been waiting for this as I was born in PA and have family who work for Hershey’s.
Imagine how different our candy shelves would look if Milton had actually made his trip on the Titanic!!!
Out of the planet EDITING It's so good that Even I don't want to blink my eyes Big fan magnate media Hats off
Maan😀
Just wanted to say thank for your channel very informative and I really enjoy it 🙏🏻
the most inspiring historical stories. You did a good job again
I was born in Hershey did multiple reports on Milton Hershey throughout my school days what a great man
Such a wonderful person who changed countless lives and this country.
I’m glad you touched on the boys school and how generous Milton really was. An absolute legend and icon for us Pennsylvanians.
Some serious editing skills, your channel is definitely my inspiration, one day il get there, great work mate
He is so inspirational, huge respect!
I know this will probably get lost in the comments but sometimes when I am home alone I like to go outside in my garden and cover myself with dirt and pretend I'm a carrot
you sir, are awesome at what u do. Ive been watching your videos for days
Yo. The editing, the effects, the music, the copy, the library, the narration… you guys should get an award. Thanks :-)
I love this story!!!!! He refused failure and the universe responded ❤
PRO EDITING AND STORY TELLING TECHNIQUES
Great informative video! What a creative piece as well. Can you tell us what editing software do you use? I wish you can make tutorial on how you edited this one. Thanks!
The editing skills are unbelievable 💫
He was the REAL WILLY WONKA!❤ what a legend
What a hero. The fact he didn't chase wealth for himself but used his money to fund schools and not doing it for clout a true role model Hershey is!
You dont see that often in a Magnates Video
this is beautiful, his life could end terribly but not only he created a beautiful business but also helped so many children over the years
Thank you for featuring him and I got to learn about his works! He's the kind of person I aspire to be. He's instantly added to people I admire. Thank you
It's so rare to see such a refreshing story, where the big corporation founder is actually good at heart and cares for his employees. great video!
Of all the hyper successful people, I think this guy is the only one who actually deserves it. Born poor, failed time and time again, then finally found success through sheer determination. That's definitely a better story than "16 year old makes $12 million a year making stupid IG posts or streaming on Twitch because they got crazy lucky and don't appreciate nor deserve their success."
This is so touching literally a company made out of love beautiful
The more I watch your videos the more depressed i get that I will never make anything remotely close to what you put out. YOU MY FRIEND ARE THE GOAT OF EDITING
I know I can't be the only person to be watching this and think "Jesus, Tom Hanks would look amazing in a biopic about Milton Hershey." And then when you showed the rich British guy, I was like, "Hey, it's James Franco!".
Can you do the company DuPont next? Their story seemed interesting to me and would love to see a video about it!
Seriously for the quality of this channel's content, why its not even a million subs when it deserves way more than that
Yooooo this video brought me to tears!!! I love the motivation. Lord knows I’m going through it in my businesses right now. I NEEDED to see this. Thank you Lord
Now I don't feel so bad for being hopelessly addicted to cookies n creme Hershey's.
I actually attended his boarding school from ages 4-12. Definitely a life changing place.
No you did not. Stop trying to gain clout
@@nickclark18how is that trying to gain clout... I actually still go to MHS. There's no clout to gain from saying it
First few seconds to the video, i know this storytelling will be great! Just subscribed!
Nicely packaged video bro
we need many more people like mr hershey, i will be eating lots more hershey products to support your legacy 😂
*I think every investor goes broke during a bear market and other major crashes but wrong!some make millions,i also thought everybody went out of business during the great depression but they didn't.Some went into Businesses, there's always depression/recession for some people and there's always profit to be made for others, It's all about perspective and right trading plan*
Stumbled across Cryptocurrency trading platform of Mr David Reinkensmeyer, my financial life has totally changed😢🥺
How can reach out to this Mr David Reinkensmeyer? I urgently need his management on my INVESTMENTS!
I Seriously Love This Dude, I Was A Minute Ago Trying To Find A Good Video Then I Searched Your Channel And I Immediately Started Watching.
its always incredible to learn about the founding of these ultra successful super companies.. Milton Hershey was truly an incredible man!
I appreciate his father's willingness to help. He just wasn't capable of making financial decisions, but his heart was in the right place.
Underrated af
it is wonderful how another businessman helped his company. such a beautiful entrepreneurial world we live in
I love this channel hopefully it doesn’t get taken down
