Скачать или смотреть The Lonely Mansion of the Chocolate King: Hershey’s High Point Story | BBB History

Milton Hershey built an entire city from sugar, milk, and fear.

To the world, he was the Chocolate King — the man who turned candy into an empire and transformed a rural corner of Pennsylvania into a model industrial town. Schools, hospitals, factories, streets bearing his name. A sweet kingdom that seemed eternal.

But behind the brightly colored wrappers was a man running from poverty, failure, and one unbearable room.

Born into debt and instability, Hershey learned early that dreaming was dangerous and security was everything. He failed again and again until survival became his only religion. Then he met Catherine “Kitty” Hershey — and for the first time, money stopped being a goal. It became a promise.

He sold a thriving caramel empire to gamble everything on chocolate.
He built High Point, a mansion and a town designed as a fortress for two.
He believed love, like chocolate, could last forever.

He was wrong.

In 1915, in a silent hotel room in Philadelphia, Hershey discovered the one thing his fortune could not buy: time. As Kitty faded, the empire he built suddenly felt hollow. The city meant to protect them became a monument to absence, loneliness, and regret.

This is not a business success story.
It is a psychological portrait of power, fear, devotion, and the quiet devastation behind one of America’s most iconic fortunes.

A story about a man who built a city — not to rule it, but to escape himself.
