Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.
Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr.
(September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was an American businessman, investor, and politician known for his high-profile positions in United States government and for the political and other achievements of his children.
Kennedy was born to a political family in East Boston, Massachusetts.
He made a large fortune as a stock market and commodity investor and later rolled over his profits by investing in real estate and a wide range of business industries across the United States.
During World War I, he was an assistant general manager of a Boston area Bethlehem Steel shipyard; through this position, he became acquainted with Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
In the 1920s, Kennedy made huge profits by reorganizing and refinancing several Hollywood studios; several acquisitions were ultimately merged into Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) studios.
Kennedy increased his fortune with distribution rights for Scotch whisky.
He owned the largest privately owned building in the country, Chicago's Merchandise Mart.
Kennedy was a leading member of the Democratic Party and of the Irish Catholic community.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Kennedy to be the first chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which he led from 1934 to 1935.
Kennedy later directed the Maritime Commission.
Kennedy served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1938 until late 1940, when he annoyed Roosevelt by his pessimism about Britain's survival.
During the Battle of Britain in November 1940, Kennedy publicly suggested that "Democracy is finished in England.
It may be here [in the United States]".
Following this controversy, Kennedy resigned his position.
Kennedy was married to Rose Kennedy.
