From Chocolate to Fried Chicken, Here’s How America’s Wealthiest Families Made Bank!
The Rockefeller Family
Net Worth:&10.3 Billion
Family Business: Rockefeller Capital Management
Industry: Oil
Prominent Members: Ariana Rockefeller
It’s impossible to talk about immense wealth without mentioning the Rockefellers. It all began with John D. Rockefeller, the titan of industry who built the Standard Oil Company into an empire. His shrewd business tactics and ruthless efficiency made him America’s first billionaire. Once concentrated in a single family, the Rockefeller fortune has since dispersed among hundreds of descendants.
David Rockefeller epitomized the clan’s commitment to charity, donating billions to worthy causes before his death at 101. Today, the family has largely stepped out of the public eye. However, a few prominent figures like Ariana Rockefeller offer a glimpse into how the clan balances inherited wealth with personal pursuits.
