PT Barnum was an American circus promoter, best known for his collection of "human freaks" such as Ang and Chang Bunker, the Four Legged Lady, the Bearded Lady and the Human Skeleton. But for most of his life he didn't work in a circus, he was a museum owner who built a museum in New York City. PT Barnum was also the inspiration for the movie The Greatest Showman, which all our moms liked. But he was also a congressman, one of America's first millionaires and a pretty smart dude at the end of the day. He also bought the Fiji Mermaid and live in New York.
