~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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!

THIS IS PART 1 OF A 2 PART MINI SERIES ON SAMUEL ZEMURRAY & THE BANANA BUSINESS.

This video is based on the book: ‘The fish that ate the whale’. Normally I use 100s of different sources when writing these videos, but with this one, this particular book heavily inspired the video and so I encourage you to go check the book out for the full story.
