J. D. Rockefeller was considered both a robber baron and a captain of industry.
No he wasn't, he was simply a man that knew how to invest and make sure that his companies were prosperous. He was a philantropist who gave back to many organizations and colleges. Rockefeller gave 10% of every paycheck to Baptist churches.
(to above answer) YES he was a robber baron since not only did he invest well, his original wealth was made on exploited workers and use of "persuading" the government to help his wealth grow
(Robin Hood Robber Baron)
No he wasn't, he was intelligent and knew how to invest so his companies were prosperous, like the above comment. However, he did not use hthis all for his own benefit, which is what a robber baron would do. On the other hand, Rockefeller was a big philanthropist and founded organizations such as the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Just because you know how to make money doesn't automatically make you a robber baron--it's what you do with the money that determines it.
