She was the riches woman in America and first billionaire women, what an amazing achievement and living the American dream a pioneer influencer.
It was a real interesting on the one hand is a perfect woman who was like a Disney princess, a real-life Mary popping or Cinderella, she brought joy in to the world by showing people how to improve their life's. Long before the internet took off.
I was amazed how much energy she had, she influenced people including men, as much as women. Building a brand and understanding what people want and creating the future.
In a man's world this documentary showed how she pitched ideas to the most powerful men and got rejected. She stuck to her guns and got her ideas out, finding someone to help her publish her magazines.
This documentary tells her story of her father being a salesman and strict upbringing.
Her family about to fall apart and Luckly she manages to get modelling job and meets a young rich man who wants to marry her and she agrees, to reverse her family's bad fortune.
Then her own father tries to stop her marriage and yet she still marries a rich man and his connections allow her to meet people that change her life forever.
How much was chance and fate and how much was her drive leading her.
A successful marriage ended with infidelity and as this documentary is her story, she tells you he cheated first. Then says how she created an opportunity for her husband to cheat and regrets that now and talks about how she cheated on him and loved him.
She starting over again, just charms everyone makes a lot of money and Her connections before she knows she is in a relationship with a billionaire and is a billionaire herself. Her rag to riches story complete.
Then the downfall
It seems odd that America would treat a person like this, let alone a woman a role model. Then they put her in jail and treat her like an animal. It is what you expect in Afghanistan or some dictatorship.
What was her crime, legally buying share and then her friend who owns the company, he broke the law told her to sell.
It was a mistake to sell those stocks, yet this has happened and most people don't go to jail. Her biggest error not having someone, who did the deed, she was caught. Power fall people lost money and someone has to pay and F. B. I investigated people involved.
I guess the fact she had bad legal advice and denied it made her look more guilty and this was a crime.
The strangest thing happened, as she was losing her power, people she trusted brought her down. If they lied or not is irrelevant now, the fact she was found guilty. This enabled people to take over her business and black list her running a company, she lost her circle of friends.
Bad person?
Then there is her attitude should she have just been nicer to people or is it a sign or weakness in business and her controlling attitude is what enabled her to create an empire.
It seems to come from her father's controlling and upbringing.
Like they say a leopard never changes its spots, yet she has managed to shed her old skin and is rebranded and keeps going.
In a way you could have seen her, as next president of U. S. A or back in jail for another crime.
She has the minus touch and seems to have achieved far beyond the cards she was delt at birth.
Down side to this documentary is that it is only her story.
I enjoyed this documentary for showing her story, but it does seem one sided and controlled and her ex-husbands and friends don't tell their side.
