Marjorie Merriweather Post was one of America's most prominent heiresses and philanthropists. Born into immense wealth as the daughter of cereal magnate C.W. Post, Marjorie's life was anything but ordinary. From her early days in Battle Creek, Michigan, to becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States, Marjorie's journey is a testament to resilience, innovation, and generosity.

Join us as we explore her multifaceted life: her savvy business acumen that expanded the Postum Cereal Company into the General Foods Corporation, her opulent estates like the famous Mar-a-Lago, and her significant contributions to arts, culture, and humanitarian causes. We'll also touch on her personal life, including her four marriages and her role as a mother.
