Jacqueline Mars - Billionaire of the confectionery kingdom with 2 husbands, addicted to charity

Jacqueline Mars was born in 1939 in Washington, she has 2 brothers, John Mars and Forrest Mars, Jr. Despite being the heir of the "confectionery kingdom", she has not yet reached happiness after two marriage breakdowns.

She attended Miss Hall's School and later attended Bryn Mawr College. Jacqueline and her brothers were raised in a very strict environment. Their father asked his children to work on the farms on weekends to earn their own expenses. In 1961, Jacqueline married David H. Badger, they had 3 children together: Alexandra, Stephen and Christa before deciding to divorce. And then 2 years later, Jacqueline continued to marry Hank Vogel but this marriage only lasted 8 years and they broke up in 1994.

The development of the famous confectionery empire

Mr. Frank C.Mars, Jacqueline's grandfather started a home business of making toffee. In 1920, he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota and started a candy business with the Nougat House brand with his son Forrest Edward Mars Sr. (Jacqueline Mars' father) and then they launched the "Milky Way bar" line of candy. Forrest Sr. moved to the United States and began expanding and diversifying the Mars business. In 1940, he founded M&M'S in the United States.

Mars Inc. Today under the co-management of Jacqueline has emerged as one of the top 5 privately held companies in the United States.

"Chocolate never flows" was born from brother

Frank Mars once hired his son Forrest E. Mars to work for a candy company right after he graduated from Yale University. But the relationship of the two met with turbulence because of disagreements in the direction of development, so Mr. Frank gave the "concubine" some money and the right to produce Milky Way candy abroad and then asked him to start his own business. The Mars family is indeed "blessed" when Forrest is even more successful than his father in the UK, expanding the business into Pedigree canned pet food, the famous Whiskas, and also acquiring the Uncle Ben's rice brand.

Despite its success, in 1940 "the continent returned to the city". Forrest Mars returned to the US and established M&M Limited in Newark, New Jersey and incorporated it into the "super" M&M/Mars corporation. That summer, Mars was forced to reduce his chocolate stock because there was not enough air conditioning to keep the chocolate solid. But Forrest came up with an idea to build a unique sugar-coated structure for M&M candy to sell year-round.

Since then, M&M's Peanut Chocolate Candies line was officially born in 1954, with the famous slogan "milk chocolate will melt in your mouth and dry in your hand". With forever world-class brands such as Snickers candy, Pedigree dog food, Kal Kan cat food or Uncle Bens rice, the Mars family is hiding a unique recipe for success in the world.

Horrible car accident

Jacqueline Mars was in a car accident on US 50 in Aldie, near her home in the plains of Northern Virginia.

Ellisor of Huntsville was in the back seat and not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, another was pregnant and subsequently miscarried. Mars was charged with reckless driving, and told a witness after the accident that she fell asleep in the car. During a hearing in Loudoun County General District Court, she had her driver's license suspended for six months and ordered to pay a $2,500 fine.
