The Scandalous Real-Life Siblings That Inspired ‘House of Guinness’
SHARE

On September 25, Netflix debuted its latest period drama, House of Guinness. Set in the 1800s, the series delves into the extravagant lives of four heirs to one of the world’s most famous beer fortunes after the passing of their strong-willed patriarch. Created by Steven Knight, known for his work on the critically acclaimed show Peaky Blinders, House of Guinness has drawn comparisons to both Succession and Downton Abbey, with its moody atmosphere and intricate storytelling.

The show is not merely a work of fiction; it is inspired by the real lives of the Guinness family. The principal characters—Arthur, Benjamin, Edward, and Anne—were actual descendants of the renowned brewing empire. As you enjoy House of Guinness this weekend, here’s an overview of the fascinating figures that inspired these characters, filled with intriguing details of wealth, scandal, and legacy.

Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness

Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness was the grandson of the legendary Arthur Guinness, who founded the brewery in 1759. Nearly a century later, Benjamin stepped into his role as head of the company, where he significantly increased sales threefold. Alongside his corporate endeavors, he entered the political arena, becoming the mayor of Dublin in 1851 and later being elected as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons in 1865. Upon his death, he entrusted the company to his two sons, Arthur and Edward.

Notably, one of Benjamin’s greatest contributions, apart from expanding the Guinness legacy, was his personal funding for the restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, a cherished landmark that continues to attract millions of visitors each year.
