Walter Elias “Walt” Disney was born on December 5th, 1901 in Chicago. In 1923, he established the Walt Disney Company, which is now the largest media conglomerate in the world by revenue. Best known for the classic films and, of course, his creation Mickey Mouse, Disney also spawned the creation of 14 theme parks around the world. In his short 65 years, he completely changed the face of American entertainment and showed generations the magic of a good story. So today, on his birthday, we would like to recognize Walt Disney as a businessman, entertainer, and American icon.
