Walt Disney is a man who has influenced the vast majority of people across the globe from animated pictures to theme parks and attractions. Most of us have enjoyed the work he did in his life. But what most people don't know is that without his cast value life insurance policies, much of what he built would not exist today. Ever been to Disneyland. It is one of the most popular attractions in the world. People fly in from all over the world to visit this magical kingdom. But when Walt Disney wanted to take his successful animated features and television programs and turn them into an amusement park for Children and parents. Not everyone believed in his vision. At a time, the only amusement parks in the country were rundown attractions. They were known to be shady and dirty and were hardly a place for families and Children believed it would be unsuccessful, potential fins of Waltz venture capital rejected his request for financing. If Walt wanted to start his theme park, he'd have to find another way. Fortunately, Walt was a very savvy individual known for his success in business and finance and had been stockpiling cash into his life insurance policies since banks and lenders continued to reject his financing needs. He decided to provide his own financing among other things, Walt borrowed against his cash value life insurance policies. And in 1955, Disneyland opened its doors for the first time. Within one year, over 3.5 million people visit the park. It was an instant success.
