Profitable World’s Fairs (There weren’t too many!)

I asked Google: Were World’s Fairs profitable through the years? Here’s the response returned: No, most world’s fairs were not profitable; the primary goal of hosting a World’s Fair is typically to showcase a country’s progress and achievements on an international stage, not to make money, so most organizers do not expect to turn a profit, and most fairs lose money. 

Dr. John Reizer

There have been well over a hundred World’s Fairs since the 19th century. According to the information I have been able to access from online sources, only eight of the venues turned a financial profit. After the first three on the list, we’re discussing more modern-day venues that are probably not involved with destroying Old-World buildings,  in my opinion.

Allegedly Profitable Fairs

1. 1851 – Great Exhibition (London)

  • Profitability: This is often considered the first successful World’s Fair. The event generated a large profit, and the Crystal Palace (the structure built for the fair) was sold for a significant amount.

2. 1893 – World’s Columbian Exposition (Chicago)

  • Profitability: Despite initial financial struggles, the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair ended up turning a profit after overcoming challenges like financial mismanagement.

3. 1900 – Exposition Universelle (Paris)

  • Profitability: The 1900 Paris Expo was a major success, financially and culturally. It helped establish Paris as a center for art and innovation and left behind many structures (like the Grand Palais) that became lasting landmarks.

Other Profitable Fairs

4. 1933–1934 – Century of Progress International Exposition (Chicago)

  • Profitability: Held during the Great Depression, this fair was considered profitable despite the challenging economic conditions.

5. 1967 – Expo 67 (Montreal)

  • Profitability: Expo 67 is widely regarded as one of the most successful World’s Fairs in terms of profitability and cultural impact.

6. 1970 – Expo ’70 (Osaka)

  • Profitability: Expo ’70 was Japan’s first World’s Fair and turned a profit, significantly contributing to the growth of Osaka’s economy and urban development.

7. 1992 – Expo ’92 (Seville)

  • Profitability: Although controversial and costly, Expo ’92 brought significant investment to Seville, contributing to the city’s modernization.

8. 2000 – Expo 2000 (Hannover)

  • Profitability: While the event itself did not make a huge profit, Expo 2000 helped bring new infrastructure and economic development to Hannover, which resulted in long-term benefits for the city.

World’s Fairs have been a financial disaster!

Many World’s Fairs have occurred since 1851, and except for a few of these events, they all had one commonality: they lost a lot of money!

It’s essential to remember that these World’s Fairs had hundreds of “temporary buildings ” constructed at each venue that took a year or so to raise. The expenses to construct and demolish said fairgrounds were enormous and almost always a financial disaster. Yet, we’re supposed to believe these very astute business people continued to finance these unsuccessful temporary amusement parks.

Why would people keep investing in these costly venues that never came close to breaking even financially? It makes no sense unless these events were used by our controllers to methodically destroy Old-World buildings and infrastructure advertised as temporary constructions.

    Yes, that is pretty much my take on all of that as well, Lisa. 🤣

    You’re spot-on with the formal education baloney. We were forced to swallow a bunch of disinformation and lies as children and the practice hasn’t stopped, in my opinion.

    It’s a very long video. I listened to about three-quarters of it, but I will finish the rest later this week. There’s so much to process with so many different genres of lies. Pick any subject, and you can be sure we have been scammed with disinformation.

    The video you shared, John, is an abundance of valuable information. And I did get through some of it, although not all. Also, so many amazing structures. 🙂👍

    I am beginning to think most everything we were forced to learn from our history books in school was a complete sham. It’s almost overwhelming to learn how many lies are swarming around this world of ours.

    And the World Fairs were probably merely only an excuse to sell their agenda to the public. It probably really didn’t have much to do with making a profit at the time. But maybe it had to do with the profit they would make in the long run. Not to mention that they were probably mostly interested in the reprogramming of people’s minds. Just as they are today.

    Tesla and the Cabbage Patch Kids by Guy Anderson:

    “It is my opinion that the World Fairs and Expositions were housed in Tartarian or Moor palaces and their grounds, aiming to fool people into thinking that the early settlers were capable of constructing such great architecture, to justify the buildings being there. At the same time, these events could showcase old or reverse engineered Tartarian technology or Antiquitech, that they had perfected and was now available for public consumption.

    Inventions first presented at these events included electric telegraphs, microscopes, thunderstorm registers, the Ferris Wheel, moving sidewalks, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, aerosol paint and later on, the fax machine, telephones, and neon lights. Two of the most famous inventors to have their innovations on display are Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.”
