Damn Rockefellar Was Rich
When he died in 1937 he was the first guy to be worth over a billion dollars.
He had a little over 1.4 billion dollars in 1937 dollars (before the feds devalued the dollar).
That's worth 340 BILLION dollars in todays world!!! Holy shit!
And he gave away 550 Million (in 1937 dollars) of it to charities, unions, churches, education funds, etc.
That would be about half of it!
His personal wealth was 1/65th of the U.S. economy in 1937!
