McDonald’s Mystery: The Dark History and Forgotten Legacy Of Everyone’s Beloved Burger Joint
Ask a McDonald’s diner who founded the iconic fast-food giant, and you’ll likely hear “McDonald” or “Ray Kroc.” While Ray propelled McDonald’s into global stardom, obscuring its origins, the true architects were brothers Maurice and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Absent from the plaques that grace the franchise, these brothers navigated a life of contrasts—enjoying luxuries like bespoke Cadillacs yet marred by setbacks.
Their partnership with Ray cost them a fortune, nearly obliterating their rightful place in history. Their tale is one of dazzling success and devastating loss, a legacy almost wiped from memory but far too compelling to forget. The lesson here? Be careful who you get into business with!
