Don't be surprised if Malaysia creates McBorhan
“Over 50, drowning in debt… chasing a dream that wasn’t even mine.” 🍔🏚️

| Burger McBorhan |
Encik Raymond Albert Kroc (October 5, 1902 – January 14, 1984) was an American businessman who was instrumental in turning McDonald's into the most successful global fast food corporation by revenue. He purchased it from the McDonald Brothers in 1961, after several years as their franchising agent, and served as the leader of the company until his death.
For most of my life, I hustled on the streets—selling anything I could: paper cups, milkshake mixers, you name it. Rejection was routine. Success? Rare. At 52, most would have called it quits. But in a small town called San Bernardino, California, I discovered a modest burger stand that was unlike anything I’d seen before. It was quick. Clean. Brilliantly simple. Its name? McDonald’s.

It didn’t belong to me—it was the creation of the McDonald brothers. Yet, I saw something they didn’t: a system that could revolutionize the way America ate. I pitched the dream of expansion, of building a franchise empire. They weren’t interested. Still, I partnered with them, replicated their model, and gambled everything I had. I mortgaged my house, sank into debt, and went hungry more than once. But I couldn’t shake the belief that this idea could reshape the world. 🧾🍔
Time moved on. The partnership strained. Their ambitions stayed small; mine grew global. Eventually, I bought them out—for less than $3 million. What began as a single burger stand became a worldwide icon. Some called me ruthless. Few understood what it meant to be a man past his prime, staking everything on a final chance.
Now, millions eat beneath those golden arches.

Age isn’t the end—it can be the perfect beginning.
