The tycoon John D. Rockefeller changed the facts in regards to wealth when America almost managed to monopolize the oil market in the late 1800s. The famous New Yorker founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870, and became wealthy in a time when the demand for kerosene and gasoline was huge. Indeed he became so wealthy that left the company in 1897 and spent the last 40 years of his life in retirement. In his last days, the Rockefeller donated much of his fortune in schools and medical research while he founded the University of Chicago. When considering the real value of his wealth, Rockefeller is widely held to be the wealthiest person in history.
