Briarcliff Mansion: The Rise and Fall of a Coca-Cola Heir’s Forgotten Palace | Documentary

Built in the 1920s, Briarcliff Mansion was a symbol of excess, ambition, and inherited power. This lavish estate was created by Asa Candler Jr., known as “Buddy” Candler—the heir to the Coca-Cola fortune and one of the most extravagant figures of his era.

Designed to impress and dominate, Briarcliff hosted opulent parties, exotic animals, and grand-scale entertainment meant to rival the great estates of America’s elite. But behind the glamour lay reckless spending, personal struggles, and a world that was rapidly changing. As fortunes shifted and priorities collapsed, the mansion fell into neglect—its grandeur slowly consumed by silence and decay.

Once a dream built on limitless wealth, Briarcliff became a haunting reminder of how ambition without restraint can end in tragedy. Today, the remains of the estate stand as part of Emory University, carrying a legacy marked by both splendor and sorrow.

This documentary explores the rise and fall of Briarcliff Mansion, revealing how American wealth, ego, and history can leave behind monuments not of success—but of warning.
