What a wonderful giving person Mr. Duke was. His wife was as well. Doris Duke had the same giving spirit and continued his legacy. I think all 3 of them would be proud of whats happening today in the Carolinas.

He seems to be a lovely kind person........I know many have died through smoking tobacco but in those days no one realized the consequence's of what harm smoking did to people.

We are best served to learn about subjects and applying "Conscious in Thought" + "Higher Mind", *absent in Judgemental Thoughts* allowing the content of a subject to speak for itself. Judging others is fully of the *"Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind"* and serves only to negatively impact the individual whom is in that Thought Energy. Thoughts are Energies, along with our Beliefs, we establish our Vibrational Frequency and this Attracts like Frequency, establishing our experiences of Reality. This is defined by the *"Universal Law of Attraction" and it is Absolute.* . *Facts that affect our life experience are a worthy learned and understanding, this is truly a Vakue for affecting a far more Centered and Desirable Life Journey Experience.*

WOW! You only ever hear about Doris Duke. I never knew James B. Duke had such a kind vision for the future of so many.

@@donaldcook5339 on another Channel that I said he gave a dollar for each person to pay for their hospital bills back when the hospital would charge $3 a day for each person so in other words he was paying 1/3 of their bill for those who had no insurance . Plus they built Duke University and they very early on gave everything that a local orphanage needed and always made sure they got what they did need . Yes he made money and he turned around and did a lot of good with it ... that is the good kind of capitalism that lifts people up and gives back to others instead of being greedy .

Wow! really enjoyed this video. What a blessed man he was and giving to everything that he visioned.

Bravo and Well-done Mr James B. Duke !

what a gracious hard working man...he is to be greatly respected!

A Magnificent Proposition that resonates more than ever, in these uncertain times.

There are good people in this world.

I wish I could eventually be as resourceful as Mr. Duke.

It is people like Duke who contributed to the greatness of America that you all still enjoy today.l

Wonderful person! World needs people like him. I hope he has the highest place in God's Heavenly Kingdom! RIP.

Not all wealthy people are bad guys and Duke was very generous he was a real true philanthropist who even gave enough to pay one-third of the bills for people in the hospital who had no health insurance .

My Great great grandfather John Carlisle Kilgo started meeting with JB Duke in 1893 regarding Trinity Methodist College, at which time Duke stated, a Methodist minister is always welcome in my home, however Trinity has seen the last dollar from me it will ever see... by 1910 when John Carlisle was made a BISHOP in the Methodist Church JB had endowed the University which became DUKE UNIVERSITY with more than 10 million dollars. The trustees of Duke tried to hae John Carlise buried under the chapel, my great great grandmother would not allow it...

he worked and earned what he had, and created jobs for others. he had a right to enjoy the fruits of his labor. it'd called "free enterprise" which we can make use of in this free country. if you was smart enough to get rich you would enjoy it, too. and so would I.

Truly beautiful

My old man is one of the last descendants on part of that line. Has some stories he tells.

I admire anyone who makes his own fortune, not those that simply inherited it,and do no good with the money,someone said if you die with your fortune intact ,you die poor ,I a gree with that ,there are so many things money can help with,for me I would love to win some money to start my own animal shelter, when covid happened a lot of people brought animals,and then when they went back to work throw them out,they didn't have time for them,they had served their purpose!, I like James B Duke .😑🇬🇧

@the Patriot The last heiress to this money are a boy and a girl, twins. They have a mother (an ex striper) and a father who died (drug addcit) was son of Doris step brother i think. They went to expose the terrible abuse by their father to dr. phill tv show. Very disturbing. But they later admitted to be lying. The mother ask them to lie, she was paid by dr. phill show 250,000. They say the father never abused them and steep mother was like a real mother they never have. But now everyone think they were sexualy and fisicaly abused. The legal battle for the money is still ongoing i think. The mother of the twins is going crazy for a piece of the cake.

James B. Duke was a caring humanitarian. Unfortunately his lovely little daughter Doris had all the misfortunes that vasts amounts of wealth will bring. Her mother was jealous of Doris's relationship with her father and her mother was psychologically cruel to the poor child.

Hmmm. Not a word about how little Doris spent the inheritance.

Honestly? I can understand that someone that is financially successful should receive recognition especially if the legacy made from that work goes toward some form of public benefit but in a product that has plagued the world with adverse health effects sort of begs the question that does the Foundation take the public to be morons? And as concerns the electrical power business, just how many customers during financially hard times were cut off power from his company or subject to rates that were created by a monopoly in the area.

Yeah, but back then they really didn’t know the health effects of smoking did they? And, I can tell you from first hand knowledge, that people who can not afford to pay their electric bill, specifically to Duke Energy, can ask for financial assistance from the company. It used to be true, that the electric company or heating company, are not allowed to turnoff the power/heat to an abode that has minor children, disabled bodies of any age, or the elderly. I hope that’s still true. Also, there are some grants that will pay for the electricity of individuals who are disabled. Also, for those who are interested, it is possible, should you have a desire to do so, that you can pay the electric bill or contribute/donate money to be used to pay the electric bills of those in need.

I think the worst part of chewing tobacco was the asbestos that was cut into the product. The asbestos caused tiny cuts in the gums and cheeks of the users, making the intoxicating affects of the tobacco to take place much faster. But, really, JBD was in business to make money. Which is no different than any other business. The good JBD far out weighs the so called “bad”. If we judge him by the product he legally sold, then do we equally judge the business owners of today’s addicting products? Such as the producers/manufacturers of alcohol and sugar, or whatever else? If what is he did was so bad that we can not even be thankful for the good he did, then can we praise anyone? Based on your assessment, not one single person on the planet should be recognized for doing anything good. Why? Because we have all done things we thought were good, but turned out to have negative consequences or harmful side affects. Even you, at one point in your life, made a mistake. Should I hold that against you for the rest of your life? Who cares that JBD’s father worked his tail off making a growing and manufacturing tobacco products so his family would have a place to live and food to eat, and a little extra left over to invest in his community’s infrastructure. Instead, be grateful that you have electricity to power your smart phone, your refrigerator, your washer and dryer, and whatever other electronic device. Be grateful the JBD Endowment is there to help the cover the expenses of people who aren’t as fortunate as you.
