She was my great-aunt on my father’s side. I met her as a child when I was 5 and was about to have eye surgery. She flew my family on her private jet, the Merriweather, and hosted us at Topridge before the surgery. I remember arriving by boat across the lake.
Dear friend: I knew Mrs Post and her daughter Dina personally; we were good friends. They lived on the next estate over from us in Old Brookville, NY. She was an amazing woman, who also invented the penthouse.
Check your email, as I sent you a private message. You left-out her mansion that predated Mar-a-Lago, Hogarcito. You're just scratching the surface of this woman's life!

Excellent video. I was fortunate to have a brief encounter with her back in the 60's. A remarkable, down to earth woman. She deserves to be remembered.
It would be so interesting to see how she was raised. Many famous and wealthy heiresses led boring, pointless and witless lives. She came out intelligent, interested, business smart and charitable. Bet she was happier had more fun than they ever did!
She was one of obviously so few children of industrialist who was taught the business by her father. She even went door to door to sell for her father's business so she definitely wasn't your stereotypical heiresses..
I really enjoy these profiles of people with semi-familiar names. Their lives are often incredibly influential in surprising ways. Your research is admirable. And I love that these profiles are liberally filled with pictures to support the stories. Well done. Please keep producing more content.
It's all thanks to her father teaching her the business when most industrialist business men especially during that time period wouldn't do such a thing and she also went door to door to sell for her father's business...
C.W. Post certainly died suddenly; he shot himself. Marjorie was about the only daughter of an industrialist who was taught the business by her father. She even went door to door selling his products. Hutton fought her when she wanted to buy out Clarence Birdseye for $2 million - Birdseye eventually cost General Foods $56 million. Her marriage to E.F. Hutton collapsed because he couldn't keep his hands off other women; Herbert May (May Company Department Stores) couldn't keep his hands off other men. FYI: her 1st husband Edward Close was the grandfather (through his 2nd wife) of Glenn Close. Excellent video.
She had a very full and interesting life. I wish someone make a movie about her lifetime, she deserves more attention. Just finished the book about her by Allison Pataki: The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post .Highly recommended.
She also donated the property as a winter place for the presidents but it was returned back, also I’ve driven past Hillwood in Washington DC it’s absolutely incredible. And I’ve seen some of the faberge eggs on display at the at the metropolitan in New York there’s actually a fascinating documentary about the largest collector of them who was the owner of Forbes magazine
Yes, re the Faberge Eggs, that was the late Malcolm Forbes. He gifted Elizabeth Taylor one of those eggs in the 1980's for her birthday. He was quite besotted with Elizabeth, but she only saw him as a good friend.
It was Marjorie Post and her architects and designers who laid the foundation and built and designed Mar-a-Lago in Florida where Donald Trump lives today.
Marjorie did a great service for preserving the jewels of the French monarchy and aristocracy as these exquisite pieces would have been cut down and the jewels sold individually or made into smaller pieces. She did the same for the preservation of Russian art. How did she avoid the great depression in the 1920s. I'd love to know that! Excepting the political sway, quite detailed and excellent documentary 🥰
Dina Merrill was married for quite a few years to actor Cliff Robertson. He said in an interview that Marjorie Meriwether Post was a very savvy, smart, intelligent and friendly businesswoman. He also said Mrs. Post could be quite an intimidating mother-in-law.
She sounds like a very accomplished and fulfilled woman, with heart in the right place and a good business sense to multiply the inheritance rather than squander it. Many an heiress you cover on the channel seem to have met a rather sad end, yet this lady radiates warmth and fulfilment in everything she put her head to do, with beautiful art and jewellery and multiple projects to keep life beautiful and interesting. Think how many artisans she supported, how much wealth she shared by the means of phillantropy! What a life worth living!
I enjoyed this video about heiress, Marjorie Merriweather Post. I'm familiar with her and her lifestyle, but you provided some information about her that I wasn't aware of. I'm very familiar with her youngest daughter, because she was in the entertainment industry and she was married to a famous actor. Great investigating, presentation and photos, too.
Amazing what money can buy 🤔 Her philanthropy was a good gesture 👏 Happy to hear , Architecture was also returned to its beauty to last for future generations.
Your videos are very good and I like your use of actual photos of the people and places in your stories. So many other video makers just use unrelated stock photos.
Dina Merrill's wealthy background is one of the reasons she was frequently cast in roles as a wealthy heiress. She naturally gave off the air of wealth.
I find the Post family really interesting. Her father's home in Post, TX is now a funeral home and the local museum has several items owned by the family.
Marjory was a a very sharp business woman. Thank you for sharing her story. Quick question: Are you still going to post videos on your Unfortunate Ends channel. It's very unfortunate that your Emmett Till video was taken down. It was very well put together.
Thanks for watching! I would like to start uploading again, but due to my busy work schedule it's hard to find the time to make those videos as well as these. Especially as I have no team helping make the UE videos 😔
ALL he said was it was raided and documents found? NO MISTAKE THEREPAL! We....ALLOVER THE WORLD...saw the files all over The floor and in bathrooms. 2 of those files were FVEY .......HE SOLD US OUTTHE PIECE OF FILTH. NYE December 31 2024. LOCK HIM UP IN 2024...... #hesoldthem #traitor #Trumpstinks #documents4$$
I have always wanted to see her home in Hillside (well over 25 years) and finally did about 6 or so years ago. Her dad was the 1st Ambassador to Russia after the end of Tsar’s regime. He loved Russian art and artifacts and was given total access to warehouses where millions of dollars of things were stored. The country was poor so sold him many things. His mansion is the 2nd largest holder of Russian art & jewels of that time period. the mansion is full of beautiful things. I’ve read quite a few Russian novels and always wanted to see a Faberge Egg, I did. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. Also, there was (& still is a docent (guide) named Vee who took her time and explained what certain pieces were. If anyone reading this likes Russian art or artifacts can visit Hillside, please do so.
Charles Post started his company after his second breakdown, when he went to recover at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, operated by John Harvey Kellogg. He was impressed with the food products Kellogg created to serve his patients--but didn't want to market. So Post saw his opportunity....which made John's brother William establish his own company. And now you know....the rest of the story. Actually,. not if Post was given one of Kellogg's yogurt enemas.
Thank you. Your video yes, exttremely interesting. Loved the details, old photos, modern color pictures of Fabrege' eggs, Mar-A-Lago. What an interesting and opulent life she had. Appreciate all the effort you put into this documentary. Excellent 👍 Blessings from So Cal.
Everyone of your videos are amazing I’d love to see you cover Sarah Emma Edmonds She was a remarkable woman who disguised herself as a man and fought in the American Civil War
I found this video interesting but I thought a main tenet of the US legal system is ‘innocent until proven guilty’. You may want to review your comments regarding the current owner of Mara Largo.
I remember touring her house once when I was a child. There was this massive portrait of her on the wall of the main stairs, and I swear to all that is good and holy, I thought it was my grandmother I was looking at. It's a very haunting resemblance looking back on the experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. I listened to a book from Audible about the Cartiers, the jewelers and Marjory was a regular customer in the Fifth Avenue store and bought many unique pieces. None were shown in this short doco but I did love the showing of the Faberge Eggs. The painting collection she had was AMAZING! I saddens me that her Palm Beach mansion is now in the hands of The Orange Emperor and he practically stole it off her estate by threatening to build a multistory hotel in front of the mansion, blocking the view of the beach. The cost value dropped radically as a result and Trump bought it for a quarter or possibly less than its true worth. What a slime ball! Dirty tricks then, and dirty tricks now.
Her father, C.W. Post was a total failure in all of his business dealings, he became a patient at Kellogg's famous Sanitarium. He stole the recipe they used for the cereals at the Sanitarium. He then began to use the recipe to make his Grapenuts. He fought with W.K. Kellogg for years trying to get ahead of him.
Good morning from Alberta, thank you for another fascinating FL! It islovely when the wealthy give back to society! Psssti didn't refer to you as BC today .... ; )
Hillwood also had several types of gardens (Japanese, French, Four Seasons, etc.). She also had a memorable dog cemetery where her beloved four legged friends were laid to rest.
Ha! You’re an idiot. I’m saying that he’s losing subscribers because he has made reference to a situation that he knows only from what he has heard from an agenda-driven media. Best to keep modern-day political discourse out of the discussion on this site, unless one wants to dive in full bore and suffer what consequences may arise.
She had the tremendous ability to envision the future and purchased a struggling business from Clarence Birdseye. Supplying grocers with frozen food cases was the biggest gamble in history and revolutionized daily shopping.
Interesting. However, at 15:34, I think you meant to say "scene of an illegal FBI raid on the former president's estate using a general warrant forbidden in the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution."
No Scene of a legal...AND VERY FRUITFUL warrant on an EX presidents home...after numerous calls, texts., emails, and a subpoena! Found were the thousands of Top secret files and video of his employees moving boxes. Video of him packing boxes onto plane to go to Bedminster.......email and text messages from ALL phones....Yep They found it all! FOX told you lies!! Trump is TOAST!!! #HE SOLDTHEM #traitor #lockHIMup....... Facts 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭GOTTA LOVE FACTS!! Did you see the photos taken by Walt NAUTA....you know Trump's valet??? They were FVEY files... FILES THAT HELD THE SECRETS OF my COUNTRY?? We hate traitors. We hate people who commit treason. We want justice for the FVEY countries that TRUSTED AMERICA with our most secret military capabilities??? Justice WILL be Trump in jail for the rest of his life. Until THE END. Bring it!
John Cusack played her father in THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, the 1994 movie based on T.C. Boyle's novel. Her first husband, Edward Bennett Close, was the grandfather of actress Glenn Close. Her third husband, Joseph Davies, was a controversial ambassador: many viewed him as Stalin's dupe. (In the movie MISSION TO MOSCOW, based on his memoir, he was played by Walter Huston and she was played by Ann Harding.) Her daughter Dina Merrill, thanks to her inheritance, was the world's richest actress. (Her second husband was Oscar-winner Cliff Robertson.)
....Mar-a-Lago, the penthouse in Manhattan, Hillwood, the camp, yacht, and an airplane. It was not just the money needed to build her lifestyle but the cost of maintenance and staff. Yacht and airplane maintenance alone are major guzzlers of wealth. Add to that the brick and mortar properties (realizing that she had divested herself of the yacht and the penthouse at different points in her parade of personal properties). One accounting placed her wealth at $112,000,000 upon her death (conservatively). It seemed that she lived larger than what her wealth would support--and I don't mean at all to be unkind by this observation. And her philanthropy during her lifetime was legendary. It has also been bothersome that she did not provide more substantially for her longtime and faithful employees. IShe was obviously a shrewd business person, knowing exactly how each move would impact her. I would really like to know what I'm missing here. And please, kindly replies. Thank you. Clueless in California.
Nicely done video series, but in this case, you need to check the validity of your statement about the FBI raid. To put it very simply, all US presidents have the legal right to declassify and retain documents relevant to their former tenure. This raid was intended as a political move undertaken by opponents within the current administration -- the idea was that the publicity of supposed wrongdoing would prevent Trump from running for re-election. As it turned out, he fact of the illegality of the raid, publicly displayed,anger not only of Trump's political base, combined with the scandalized response of the legal profession and that of many elected officials to effectively destroy what little credibility the FBI and the current Department of Justice has in the estimation of a large percentage of the American public.
Do yourself a favour and READ ...actually READ the Presidential Records Act. Maybe the indictments too? You DO know the PRA was done specifically to STOP presidents from retaining ANY documents after Nixon don't you?? NO?? GUESS FOX FORGOT TO EXPLAIN THAT............................... BUT NOW i HAVE TOLD YOU i AM SURE YOU ARE GOING TO PUT YOUR TEETH IN AND SIT DOWN AND READ.....ACTUALLY READ....what the PRA says. Does 'delusional' hurt???? Oh you can read can't you??? You will learn a LOT if you actually FACT CHECK.....I know MAGA clapping seals are not big on FACTS...but give it a go????? IMAGINE BEING SO DELUSIONAL THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO CHECK A SIMPLE FACT TO WHAT YOU ARE SPROUTING...How f***** embarrassing??? 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🤢🤢📖📖📑📑📑📑📑🤣🤣🤣🤣

Found were the thousands of Top secret files and video of his employees moving boxes. Video of him packing boxes onto plane to go to Bedminster.......email and text messages from ALL phones....Yep They found it all! FOX told you lies!! Trump is TOAST!!! #HE SOLDTHEM #traitor #lockHIMup....... Facts 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭GOTTA LOVE FACTS!! Did you see the photos taken by Walt NAUTA....you know Trump's valet??? They were FVEY files... FILES THAT HELD THE SECRETS OF my COUNTRY?? We hate traitors. We hate people who commit treason. We want justice for the FVEY countries that TRUSTED AMERICA with our most secret military capabilities??? Justice WILL be Trump in jail for the rest of his life. Until THE END. Bring it!
Nice video FL 👍
John Cusack played her father in THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, the 1994 movie based on T.C. Boyle's novel.
Her first husband, Edward Bennett Close, was the grandfather of actress Glenn Close.
Her third husband, Joseph Davies, was a controversial ambassador: many viewed him as Stalin's dupe. (In the movie MISSION TO MOSCOW, based on his memoir, he was played by Walter Huston and she was played by Ann Harding.)
Her daughter Dina Merrill, thanks to her inheritance, was the world's richest actress. (Her second husband was Oscar-winner Cliff Robertson.)
Her home must have been fantastic! She also had a good head for business! Can you please tell us what happened to her daughters?
😴🎶😴😷😔🤪
Grand video very informative
Thanks!!
Very interesting!
It was very very great video.
Thanks!!
....Mar-a-Lago, the penthouse in Manhattan, Hillwood, the camp, yacht, and an airplane. It was not just the money needed to build her lifestyle but the cost of maintenance and staff. Yacht and airplane maintenance alone are major guzzlers of wealth. Add to that the brick and mortar properties (realizing that she had divested herself of the yacht and the penthouse at different points in her parade of personal properties). One accounting placed her wealth at $112,000,000 upon her death (conservatively). It seemed that she lived larger than what her wealth would support--and I don't mean at all to be unkind by this observation. And her philanthropy during her lifetime was legendary. It has also been bothersome that she did not provide more substantially for her longtime and faithful employees. IShe was obviously a shrewd business person, knowing exactly how each move would impact her. I would really like to know what I'm missing here. And please, kindly replies. Thank you. Clueless in California.
Thank you.
Good video, but stick to the script not what the media, aka hand of this administration says without verifying the facts
You mean law enforcement? And turn off Fox already. JFC.
😌🤩😴😔😴👍
Nicely done video series, but in this case, you need to check the validity of your statement about the FBI raid. To put it very simply, all US presidents have the legal right to declassify and retain documents relevant to their former tenure. This raid was intended as a political move undertaken by opponents within the current administration -- the idea was that the publicity of supposed wrongdoing would prevent Trump from running for re-election. As it turned out, he fact of the illegality of the raid, publicly displayed,anger not only of Trump's political base, combined with the scandalized response of the legal profession and that of many elected officials to effectively destroy what little credibility the FBI and the current Department of Justice has in the estimation of a large percentage of the American public.
Pulllleeez ..
Do yourself a favour and READ ...actually READ the Presidential Records Act. Maybe the indictments too? You DO know the PRA was done specifically to STOP presidents from retaining ANY documents after Nixon don't you?? NO?? GUESS FOX FORGOT TO EXPLAIN THAT............................... BUT NOW i HAVE TOLD YOU i AM SURE YOU ARE GOING TO PUT YOUR TEETH IN AND SIT DOWN AND READ.....ACTUALLY READ....what the PRA says. Does 'delusional' hurt???? Oh you can read can't you??? You will learn a LOT if you actually FACT CHECK.....I know MAGA clapping seals are not big on FACTS...but give it a go????? IMAGINE BEING SO DELUSIONAL THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO CHECK A SIMPLE FACT TO WHAT YOU ARE SPROUTING...How f***** embarrassing??? 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🤢🤢📖📖📑📑📑📑📑🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!
😚🔴🥳🤩🥳✊🏿
I don't remember ever seeing the necklace in the Smithsonian and I grew up there and was there all the time. How strange.
I stopped watching this video when you started the political bullshit!
She was a very intelligent, ambitious, but kind lady.
I'm from DC, I've been to her house. It's now a museum and the gardens are open to the public (and there's a restaurant). Very beautiful, indeed.
Hellmans Mayonaise was recently bought by a Chinese Company.
That means the mayonnaise is going to go to shit and have poison in it and toxins.
