PT Barnum Documentary / PT Barnum Movie.... P.T. Barnum was one of the richest and most famous men in America. And then in a matter of weeks… he lost everything. On the one hand, this is a story about a man who built his fortune through lies, and exploitation. Because before Barnum was a successful businessman and global celebrity, he scammed people out of their money by claiming he’d discovered mermaids, cavemen, and a 161 year-old woman (Joice Heth). And the truth is much darker and twisted than you may think. But on the other hand, this is also the story of an incredibly creative and hard-working entrepreneur who climbed all the way to the top, lost everything, and then rose from the ashes to become an even greater success. Eventually, Barnum became the world’s greatest showman; He completely transformed the great American circus, and his spectacular performances were sought after by the likes of the Queen of England, and the King of France. PT Barnum’s journey as a showman is a masterclass in capturing people’s attention and turning it into money - by whatever means necessary. This is the crazy true story of P.T. Barnum by MagnatesMedia. For more incredible business and entrepreneur stories, subscribe to MagnatesMedia.

"Within a few MONTHS of working at a general store, he opened his own." Lmao. I've been working for 3 months as a manager at a restaurant and I've saved $250 dollars.

[yourboiivan]

This man can make me watch a 45 min video of someone that I have never even heard of in my life. Props to you and your amazing production team ❤

[borisstojanovic]

Wow, I thought I was going to watch an ad but you just simply thanked your audience, not trying to sell anything. That's awesome!

[melaber]

As a former Bridgeport CT resident, I can say that the city still pays homage to Barnum. There are streets called Tom Thumb St and Iranistan St (the name of his mansion), the Barnum Museum is very active, and a larger than life statue of him sits at the beach, looking across the Long Island Sound. No one here pretends that he was a saint, but his contributions to entertainment and advertising concepts are undeniable.

P.T Barnum's greatest enemy was fire, it had it out for him.

[johnpaulboudreaux]

I went to the barnum and bailey bros circus when i was a kid. I can confidently say it was actually the greatest show on earth and I'm sad it's gone. I was in a horrible place in my life at the time but that circus performance made me forget everything wrong in my life

[SquallLionhart]

I remember first seeing The Greatest Showman and saying to my friend "That was a pretty good musical and I look forward to someday watching a movie about the life of PT Barnum." 45 minutes is a little short for a feature-length, but is certainly enough to have my attention.

[Zytech_FX]

Watching from sierra Leone 🇸🇱 West Africa. My favorite channel when it comes to business success stories.

[AestheticalMinimalism]

I love how John changed the editing style in the "The Lowest of Lows" chapter, it really shows P.T Barnum's downfall in the chapter.

[WeRNthisToGetHer]

He did not con people out of money, he was very open about his "humbugs". People paid money to be entertained and baffled by his shows. He was a showman, he put on shows. He wasn't trying to convince people he had real mermaids. He gave lucrative work to people who otherwise wouldn't have had such income opportunities.

[Foxsplosion]

Mad respect for going 50/50 with a very young dwarf kid. You know that if he wouldve taken advantage of him, that he wouldnt of come back to help him later on. Might not have been a hero, but seems like a good guy at his core.

[MsQD]

He was just waiting/looking for something to be passionate about.

GOOD BIO. WELL & FAIRLY TOLD.
THANK U.

[PaarthMittal]

I swear this man is producing frikin movies with many advertisements at once and beautiful narration. I have this guy's utter respect

[Mellyxxxxx]

The GOAT has uploaded.
But fr the effort you put is crazy. The quality is Hollywood standard

[BeerBreath]

This is now one of my favorite channels. Its better then almost everything I have seen on history channel.

[neema]

Wow, the storytelling gets better every day. Mad respect for the editing. I

[Randaprime]

The content, editing, and your voice and tone make your videos my absolute favourite. Keep up the good work. I enjoy and look forward to your every video❤

[hardeepdhull]

Editing is crazy.
Smooth camera movement.

[Devil-Made]

Thank YOU. I’m trying to start my own business and learning about successful entrepreneurs is important - but incredibly boring. You’ve changed that. I’ve saved so many of your videos because they contain useful information. You’ve succeeded in making business stories entertaining. Yours is one of my go-to channels. Thank you!!
