Raymond Albert "Ray" Kroc (October 5, 1902 – January 14, 1984) was an American fast-food tycoon.
He joined the California company McDonald's in 1954, after the McDonald brothers had franchised 6 locations out from their original 1940 operation in San Bernardino.
This set the stage for national expansion with the help of Kroc, eventually leading to a global franchise, making it the most successful fast food corporation in the world.
Kroc was included in Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century, and amassed a multi-million dollar fortune during his lifetime.
He owned the San Diego Padres baseball team from 1974 until his death in 1984.
