The Great Hearst Castle!

Hola! It's heartsstarssmiles! I'm here to talk to you about a multimillionaire named William Randolph Hearst. Maybe you've heard of him. He's the proud owner of the Hearst Castle!

He was born on April 29, 1863. Where was he born? In the great city of San Francisco! In 1887, he became proprietor of the San Francisco Examiner. At the pinnacle, he owned 28 newspapers, 18 magazines, many radio stations, and several movie companies. He and his wife as of 1903, Millicent Willson, had five children: George, William Randolph Jr, John, and twins Randolph and David. At the age of 88, he died on August 14, 1951 in Beverly Hills, California. But long before he died, in the 1920s, he built a castle on a 240,000 acre ranch which you know as the Hearst Castle. It's massive! Just check out this picture:
