- One of the most accomplished businessmen of the 20th century, James B. Duke used his wealth, knowledge and compassion to establish The Duke Endowment . His story is one of humility and commitment, and it endures through all of the organizations that bear his name.
What a wonderful giving person Mr. Duke was. His wife was as well. Doris Duke had the same giving spirit and continued his legacy. I think all 3 of them would be proud of whats happening today in the Carolinas.
what a gracious hard working man...he is to be greatly respected!
He seems to be a lovely kind person........I know many have died through smoking tobacco but in those days no one realized the consequence's of what harm smoking did to people.
It is people like Duke who contributed to the greatness of America that you all still enjoy today.l
WOW! You only ever hear about Doris Duke. I never knew James B. Duke had such a kind vision for the future of so many.
@@donaldcook5339 We all want to make money. The point is he did some good with millions of it.
@@donaldcook5339 he built companies that provided services that are still providing for tens of millions people. You are very ignorant or naive.
@@donaldcook5339 on another Channel that I said he gave a dollar for each person to pay for their hospital bills back when the hospital would charge $3 a day for each person so in other words he was paying 1/3 of their bill for those who had no insurance .
Plus they built Duke University and they very early on gave everything that a local orphanage needed and always made sure they got what they did need .
Yes he made money and he turned around and did a lot of good with it ... that is the good kind of capitalism that lifts people up and gives back to others instead of being greedy .
I wish I could eventually be as resourceful as Mr. Duke.
Wonderful person! World needs people like him. I hope he has the highest place in God's Heavenly Kingdom! RIP.
Why would he? Jebus himself said it’s easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven.
@Robert Beck lol
@@chasenip2 cover that's because a lot of rich people are not genuinely generous but if a person is wealthy but kind and very generous with their money you better believe good things happen to them in their death .
Not all wealthy people are bad guys and Duke was very generous he was a real true philanthropist who even gave enough to pay one-third of the bills for people in the hospital who had no health insurance .
he worked and earned what he had, and created jobs for others. he had a right to enjoy the fruits of his labor. it'd called "free enterprise" which we can make use of in this free country. if you was smart enough to get rich you would enjoy it, too. and so would I.
you probably dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Lyric Rodney instablaster ;)

@Landry Dax It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Lyric Rodney No problem xD
Wow! really enjoyed this video. What a blessed man he was and giving to everything that he visioned.
James Buchanan Duke, son of Washington Duke and Artelia Roney Duke is one of the smartest men of character and integrity that will ever be!!!! There is a special place in Heaven for people of such compassion to always think of others!!
Bravo and Well-done Mr James B. Duke !
A Magnificent Proposition that resonates more than ever, in these uncertain times.
We are best served to learn about subjects and applying "Conscious in Thought" + "Higher Mind", *absent in Judgemental Thoughts* allowing the content of a subject to speak for itself.
Judging others is fully of the *"Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind"* and serves only to negatively impact the individual whom is in that Thought Energy.
Thoughts are Energies, along with our Beliefs, we establish our Vibrational Frequency and this Attracts like Frequency, establishing our experiences of Reality. This is defined by the *"Universal Law of Attraction" and it is Absolute.*
.
*Facts that affect our life experience are a worthy learned and understanding, this is truly a Vakue for affecting a far more Centered and Desirable Life Journey Experience.*
There are good people in this world.
My Great great grandfather John Carlisle Kilgo started meeting with JB Duke in 1893 regarding Trinity Methodist College, at which time Duke stated, a Methodist minister is always welcome in my home, however Trinity has seen the last dollar from me it will ever see... by 1910 when John Carlisle was made a BISHOP in the Methodist Church JB had endowed the University which became DUKE UNIVERSITY with more than 10 million dollars. The trustees of Duke tried to hae John Carlise buried under the chapel, my great great grandmother would not allow it...
The Jagir... I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying
@@gardensofthegods I don't either. I'm glad I'm not alone in that.
Today, he would be reviled as a "Sackler."
My great-grandfather and my cousin went to Duke.
James B. Duke was a caring humanitarian. Unfortunately his lovely little daughter Doris had all the misfortunes that vasts amounts of wealth will bring. Her mother was jealous of Doris's relationship with her father and her mother was psychologically cruel to the poor child.
Well done documentation. Excellent
I saw that Inman twins episode..and I have repetitively watched it..due to the horror..well it's unfortunate and unforgivable but look where they came from.? Unfortunately they were the ones that suffered and will forever cuz those trauma is an every day nightmare..bless them
The irony, tobacco & funding the medical field. Give that thought.
My oldest son went to duke every summer to take classes. He was accepted in 4 th grade. What I know now I would never have let him go
@@maggiemae7539 👍
Pure tobacco is not the problem. The chemicals that the government (yes, government) required that they begin adding, ARE.
Truly beautiful
*The example of an individual whom is fully in their Passion. The reilts always refley the Energies that Vibrate on the corresponding Frequency, abd that is How we attract all our Reality.*
*The "Universal Law of Attraction" is Absolute, it is largely the "Divine Design".*
The J.B. DUKE Hotel located in the David Thomas Center beside Fuqua School of Business at Duke University will open in a few months.
This is the "cigarette man!" Why should he not be reviled by the revisionists?
Love
My old man is one of the last descendants on part of that line. Has some stories he tells.
Thank u great information wonderful man
I admire anyone who makes his own fortune, not those that simply inherited it,and do no good with the money,someone said if you die with your fortune intact ,you die poor ,I a gree with that ,there are so many things money can help with,for me I would love to win some money to start my own animal shelter, when covid happened a lot of people brought animals,and then when they went back to work throw them out,they didn't have time for them,they had served their purpose!, I like James B Duke .😑🇬🇧
Almost makes you want to go out and smoke a pack of cigarettes in an hour!
Especially since they were probably grown without all the pesticides used today & the packaging was incredible.👍🏼
Steven Torrey. Your comment is stupid to someone like me who lost both parents to lung cancer from smoking! Grow up, loser! The cigarette industry killed millions of people! You are lucky if you didn’t have a loved one die such a horrible and painful death!
Well done video.
Anyone else see the dr Phil episode with the duke twins. Scary and disturbing stuff.
Read about their dad. Scarier
@the Patriot The last heiress to this money are a boy and a girl, twins. They have a mother (an ex striper) and a father who died (drug addcit) was son of Doris step brother i think. They went to expose the terrible abuse by their father to dr. phill tv show. Very disturbing. But they later admitted to be lying. The mother ask them to lie, she was paid by dr. phill show 250,000. They say the father never abused them and steep mother was like a real mother they never have. But now everyone think they were sexualy and fisicaly abused. The legal battle for the money is still ongoing i think. The mother of the twins is going crazy for a piece of the cake.
@the Patriot They have a YT channel when they used to upload videos of the interviews. And years after they started leaving comments telling the true on Dr. Phill videos. It was all a lie. Idk if the show paid them that much but i always knew they were lying. You see the girl fake crying with no tears, nonsense story and anyone who work with real victims can see this was not genuine.
6:18 wow! That’s too hot to handle!
I have recurring dreams about being james b duke. I have flashbacks of his life.
reincarnation?
I do that too.
At first I didn't know his name. Little by little I started seeing details of his life and then I googled it and found out some of my dreams were true.
@@gisellabradley7270 reincarnation is real ... you never know you could be reincarnated from him or one of his brothers or sons .
What are some of the strongest dreams and memories you've had about this ? Can you share some of them ?
Yeah, let's share bitter tears of grief fans, when getting in business was the greatest American spirit we need the most, seems to me l came to the world in a wrong century poor me
Hmmm. Not a word about how little Doris spent the inheritance.
I wish ever wealthy man in the United States felt this away
Honestly? I can understand that someone that is financially successful should receive recognition especially if the legacy made from that work goes toward some form of public benefit but in a product that has plagued the world with adverse health effects sort of begs the question that does the Foundation take the public to be morons? And as concerns the electrical power business, just how many customers during financially hard times were cut off power from his company or subject to rates that were created by a monopoly in the area.
I had similar thoughts. Essentially making his millions from cancer sticks. Duke-- No better than a drug dealer.
Yeah, but back then they really didn’t know the health effects of smoking did they? And, I can tell you from first hand knowledge, that people who can not afford to pay their electric bill, specifically to Duke Energy, can ask for financial assistance from the company. It used to be true, that the electric company or heating company, are not allowed to turnoff the power/heat to an abode that has minor children, disabled bodies of any age, or the elderly. I hope that’s still true. Also, there are some grants that will pay for the electricity of individuals who are disabled. Also, for those who are interested, it is possible, should you have a desire to do so, that you can pay the electric bill or contribute/donate money to be used to pay the electric bills of those in need.
@@StevenTorrey what a stupid comment, at the time he started his tobacco company it was not known how unhealthy cigarettes were, compering this man to a drug dealer who knows he is selling misery is pathetic , you make no mention of all the good he did in his life just make snide remarks born of envy ,as usual
just beautiful american dream.
Guess he had no idea of the agony of cancer 😢 how many have died and still suffering from cigarettes??
Shouldn't this money be going to Duke twins' therapy bills?
The DUKE twins inherited over 1 billion dollars.
@@bethgallagher8156 I thought they lost their case?
Doris Duke some say she was the richest woman ever in USA
So much COPD and Cancer ! 😢😱🤔.
Duke gave the world cigarettes which in turn gave the word lung cancer, cancer on lips and mouths, and for those who chewed, cancer of the throat, soft tissues of gums, tobacco related illnesses, money which should have gone for food and clothing went to buy cigars, cigarettes...tragic.
I think the worst part of chewing tobacco was the asbestos that was cut into the product. The asbestos caused tiny cuts in the gums and cheeks of the users, making the intoxicating affects of the tobacco to take place much faster. But, really, JBD was in business to make money. Which is no different than any other business. The good JBD far out weighs the so called “bad”. If we judge him by the product he legally sold, then do we equally judge the business owners of today’s addicting products? Such as the producers/manufacturers of alcohol and sugar, or whatever else? If what is he did was so bad that we can not even be thankful for the good he did, then can we praise anyone? Based on your assessment, not one single person on the planet should be recognized for doing anything good. Why? Because we have all done things we thought were good, but turned out to have negative consequences or harmful side affects. Even you, at one point in your life, made a mistake. Should I hold that against you for the rest of your life? Who cares that JBD’s father worked his tail off making a growing and manufacturing tobacco products so his family would have a place to live and food to eat, and a little extra left over to invest in his community’s infrastructure. Instead, be grateful that you have electricity to power your smart phone, your refrigerator, your washer and dryer, and whatever other electronic device. Be grateful the JBD Endowment is there to help the cover the expenses of people who aren’t as fortunate as you.
Too bad he made his fortune on one of the most carcinogenic substances ever made. How many have died because of cigarettes?
let's spend some of that $!
Ruined by terrible back music
Actually the music is lovely.
they got stinking rich off cancer.
That's what l was thinking...but l think they knew that than. Stupid Cigars!
His tobacco company was founded in the 1800s when people were lucky to see 50. I doubt many died of cancer. Malaria, Yellow Fever, Typhoid etc. got most of them first.
Nice propaganda...but I dont buy it!
