[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1038408, member: 70552"] I rewatched the Founder last night. I enjoyed it. Read up more around it. And $1m each back in 1961 would be worth around $9m each in today’s money. There’s a dispute whether there really was a “handshake” deal on the royalties, but boy that would hurt given the multi billions McDonald’s make annually. Wiki reporting there is no evidence and only the word of the nephew of one of the McDonald’s brothers. Still it makes a good story. Dick McDonald reportedly didn’t hold a grudge, but Maurice McDonald died in 1970 reportedly torn up by the success of McDonald’s. I think Dick McDonald is the one who is in the Real Founder documentary. Thankfully it looks like he didn’t die penniless with an estate of $1.8m and didn’t die Bitter. Yep, In N Out seems to have got their priorities right. Defo will seek it out if I am ever in that part of the world. [MEDIA=youtube]vhhtDEUlSis[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
