Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is celebrating its 100th anniversary! A centennial anniversary is an amazing milestone that few companies can say they have achieved. “Believe It or Not!”, a phrase you likely hear daily was coined by Robert Ripley. 100 years later, “Believe It or Not!” remains a part of our lexicon, but what about the man behind the phrase? Ripley was famous for his world travels and regaling his readers with tales of far-flung places. Ripley traveled to more than 200 countries in 35 years seeking the odd, the unusual, and the unexplained.

Today, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has evolved into a global family entertainment company with over 100 attractions in ten countries, and have robust media, entertainment, publishing and licensing divisions.

Congratulations, Branson!

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

For Immediate Release

Branson, MO (March 29, 2018) – For a limited time, you can see the iconic dress Marilyn Monroe wore when she famously sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to John F. Kennedy on May 19, 1962, for his 45th birthday gala at Madison Square Garden. The dress will be on display for a limited engagement at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! on West Highway in Branson, Missouri.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! set a new Guinness World Records record for the most expensive dress sold at auction when they acquired the dress from Julien’s Auctions for a staggering $4.8 million. Add in auction fees, and the dress cost over $5 million, making it the most expensive dress in the world.

“This is the most famous item of clothing in twentieth-century culture,” says Edward Meyer, VP of Exhibits & Archives for Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. Meyer has been acquiring items for Ripley’s for over 39 years and placed the winning bid on the dress. “It has the significance of Marilyn, of JFK, and of American politics.”

With the dress, other items from Kennedy’s birthday gala will be on display, along with other Marilyn memorabilia. The dress will be on display for a limited engagement, starting on Saturday, April 14 2018, and leaving by June 10, 2018.
