Marjorie Merriweather Post: She was America’s Wealthiest Businesswoman from the 20th Century

She’s an American businesswoman, trailblazer, socialite, and philanthropist. This feisty female mogul was one of the most successful businesswomen of her time. Learn more about her impressive achievements below.

Early Life and Education

Marjorie Merriweather Post, the daughter and only child of C. W. Post and the former Ella Letitia Merriweather, was born in Springfield, Illinois.

Marjorie picked up business management skills from her father, including how to market and advertise their goods. Marjorie received a top-notch business education from her father.

Marjorie enjoyed helping her father sell Postum to stores when she was a young child. Postum became well-known thanks to C.W. Post’s successful and effective advertising campaigns.

By the time Marjorie was a teenager, the C.W. Post family was a rich and well-to-do family.

Post studied at the Mount Vernon Seminary and College, which is now the George Washington University.

Early Career and General Foods Corporation

After her father passed away in 1914 at the age of 27, she took over ownership of the 1895-founded Postum Cereal Company, which was expanding very fast.

As a result, she became the richest woman in the US, inheriting $20 million (which would be worth $526 million in 2020).

Marjorie had the option of selling the business and relying solely on her inheritance, but she chose to carry on her father’s legacy instead.

In addition to Bran Flakes and Chips Ahoy!, Grape-Nuts, Honeycomb, Oreo O’s, Pebbles, and Waffle Crisp are just a handful of the cereal brands owned by the company her father created.

She ran the business as director when her father passed away until 1958.

She grew the company with her second husband, E.F. Hutton, and started to acquire other American food brands, including Baker’s Chocolate, Maxwell House, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, Jell-O, and many more.

The Postum Cereal Company changed its name to General Foods Corporation in 1929.

She discovered Clarence Birdseye's (an American inventor, entrepreneur, and naturalist) inventions near Gloucester, Massachusetts, while traveling on her boat, to Hussar.

By freezing food, Birdseye had created a brand-new method of food preservation.

Post purchased Birdseye's company because she realized the potential benefits of frozen food, which led to the success of her business eventually.

Philanthropy

She funded and personally supervised a Salvation Army feeding center in New York beginning in 1929 and continuing during the Great Depression.

She gave $100,000 to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was then built as the National Cultural Center in Washington.

She gave the National Symphony $100,000 in 1955 for free performances, which paved the way for the Music for Young America Concerts, which she financed annually.

Death

The business mogul and philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather passed away peacefully in her sleep at her Hillwood Estate after a prolonged illness. She was 86 years old at that time.

The Key Takeaways

Nobody is an expert from birth, as demonstrated by Marjorie's story.

When she abruptly found herself in a position of power, she chose a growth mindset rather than running away from it.

Mrs. Post was also a woman who was well ahead of her time.

Her developing business acumen is demonstrated in this anecdote by the fact that she was able to identify a commercial opportunity before anyone else.

Are you experiencing the relationship that reflects who you really are and what you really want or the relationship that reflects the wounds of your childhood? Are you with the person who helps you become a better person or someone who makes you question your worth? Are you really happy or are you just afraid of the sadness of being alone? We've all done it; went into a relationship for the wrong reasons. And often we get stuck in that relationship for any number of complicated reasons, It's hard to know what to do. So we will stay when we feel happy and we will stay when we're depressed when we're too weak to leave. The real questions to ask yourself is: Do I feel like I look forward to my life with them or am I just hanging on for dear life? Am I really with the person that I was meant for or am I trying not to disappoint others? How do I know who I am meant for? The person who we are meant for may not be the person we recognize until we've learned to recognize our true self. The person that you are meant for will be the person who challenges you to believe in yourself, who opens your heart wider than you ever thought possible, not with the sole intention to get you to love them more, but so that you will love yourself more. The person who you are meant to be with sees who you were meant to be and supports your growth, your passions and your happiness. You just seem to fit together and compliment each other and even when times are tough, you stick together. To them, you will never be replaceable, they value your heart as much as their own. The person who you are meant for will be the person you've secretly been searching for, hoping that one day you will have the courage to ask for. -Joel Clemons • Love, Life & Relationship Coach @the.gentleman.wolf #relationships #love #dontsettleforless #bossquotes #immyownboss #buildanempire #ownit #dontsettle #gogetit #wontstop #makemoves #knowyourworth #goalsetter #hardworkingwoman #fulfillyourpurpose #setgoals #growthmindset #mindsetiseverything #mindsetreset #sucessfulwomen #getmotivated #newstarts #createalifeyoulove #createthelifeyouwant #Repost - @the.gentleman.wolf • Photo credit: @thekitcheners (at Weston, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfMVpkdr9Wp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The difficulty is that our busy lifestyles are extremely focused on success, comparing ourselves to others, and a constant need to do more. As a result, We've become our own harshest critics, focused on our flaws and areas where we "could've done better" rather than our accomplishments. We've heard that true love begins with loving oneself, but we're not sure how we're expected to go from continual self-criticism to unconditional love. Making yourself a priority is the best self-help tip. Give yourself the attention, validation, and understanding you crave from others! - Patricia Dsouza #beyourself #selfishlove #lovewhatyoudo #beingyourself #strongwomen #BuildingMyEmpire #BusinessWithPurpose #womenachievers #sucessfulwomen #CreateToCultivate #DesignALifeYouLove #MotivatedWomen #SoLovelySoFree #patriciadsouz #patriciadsouzaauthor #patriciadsouza https://www.instagram.com/p/CVfJKPQJ3X9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Be thankful for today! Forget about yesterday and write a new story today!... Live in the today and now, focusing in your past makes you depress, and thinking too much and worrying about the future gives you anxiety... why can you just live and focus on today? Learn to live your life according to Gods will! Let your life take the direction that he wants for you to take, for your specific purpose in life. Our father is a good father and he always directs & provides in one way or another. You just have to let him take the lead! Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” . . . #rosarioleondavis #bible #bibleverse #christian #jesus #depression #anxiety #anxietyrelief #today #todayisagoodday #forgetaboutyesterday #livetodayandnow #onlyfortoday #trusttheprocess #trustgod #livebyfaith #inspirational #uplifting #sucessfulwomen #spanish #spanglish #mexico #california #usa #dontworrybehappy #dontworry #behappy #onlyfortoday #spain #multiculturalfamily (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7ieBPlnIS/?igshid=q239d4qbcr6h

The success of every woman should be an inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

Your Focus creates all. You are what you Focus upon. And it's a feedback loop that feeds itself all the time! You stand before infinite choices every moment. Only because of a habit of belief you are given fewer options than you think you have. Intelligent infinity is what you can PLAY with (and you do) every moment. And you are never a victim of it - how could you be? You are the Focus of it. You couldn't be a victim of it - ever. But you can get so focused on a particular perspective that it overwhelms your experience, so it may LOOK like you don't have a choice. Then you fall "asleep." But even in your "sleep," you are not a victim. The moment you become aware there is a choice before is the moment you wake up. Use it wisely to FOCUS on what you desire, not what you think you can experience right now. Your beliefs also focus you on things that you might not be aware of. I call them "blindspots." You can learn more about them in the series of pdfs I sent to subscribers. Go to the link in bio and learn if you hold any of these pesky blindspots! @apocalyptan * * * * * * * * #receive #believe #workexperience #lawofone #professionaldevelopment #speakyourtruth #justbreathe #waynedyer #sucessfulwomen #dogoodfeelgood #empoweringothers #empathyforlife #limitingbeliefs #affirmationoftheday #goddard #newearth #spiritualawakening #inspirationdaily #lovethyneighbor #inspirationalwords #mindsetreset #connectedness #satsang #rumi #lifteachotherup #destiny #thepowerofnow #liveinthenow #answers #success (at Osaka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_u6F0lH2y/?igshid=k94alq3wjxjl

99% of people never accomplish their dreams. The question you’re all asking is how do I become the 1%.🤫 🌟The 1% of people who accomplish their dreams didn’t quit. The 1% learnt how to discipline their behaviour. They didn’t limit themselves to what people think. They never let themselves be determined by other people’s opinions. They pushed themselves, created their own limits and then pushed through their barriers. 🌟If you have no discipline there’s no point you might as well quit now. The discipline to say no when those around you chose to be average. Life only gives you what you deserve. So today remain faithful to your goals and keep to your discipline, even when it hurts. ☝️🙌🏾 . . . . . . . #nakedthoughts #nakedthoughtsonly #pushyourself #pushyourlimits #discipline #disciplinetofreedom #pretty #growtopia #businesstips #hackbusiness #businessowner #businesswoman #painful #painfulquotes #quotesoftheday #bestoftheday #takeeverything #be1percent #sucess #sucessfulwomen #sucessquotes #inspirationalquotes (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDECY6WJ2RC/?igshid=18kujqxdku3qo

The fact is that without brokenness in my life, I would not have had the ability to alter nor evolve in certain extremely specific ways.
