Sam Zemurray (The Fish That Ate the Whale)
Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
When he arrived in America in eighteen ninety one, at age fourteen. Zimmery was tall, Gangly and penniless. When he died in the grandest house in New Orleans sixty nine years later. He was among the richest, most powerful men in the world.
In between. He worked as a fruit peddler. A banana hauler. A dockside hustler. And the owner's in Central America.
He battled and conquered the United fruit. Which was one of the first truly global corporations. Zamuri's life is a parable of the American dream. Not history as recorded in the textbooks.
