Will Keith Kellogg was an American entrepreneur and the founder of the Kellogg Company, known for creating the popular breakfast cereal Corn Flakes. Born in 1860, he initially worked under his brother, John Harvey Kellogg, at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where he developed a passion for creating a convenient and healthy breakfast option. After years of rivalry and conflict with his brother, he established his own company in 1906, which eventually grew into a major player in the global food industry. Will's innovative marketing strategies and the addition of sugar to his cereal helped solidify Kellogg's success, but his personal life was marred by family disputes and bitterness, particularly with his brother, which persisted until their deaths.
