No - Rockefeller's net worth (from Standard Oil and subsequent breakup) is estimated to be around $600bn (today's money).
Howard Hughes' net worth was just over $1.5bn in his lifetime, even adjusted to today's money, that accounts for maybe $10-$15bn.
The difference is really in the assets the two created. Rockefeller's assets are still the backbone of today's society - oil refinement. Of all the most affluent companies in the World, 8 of the top 10 are oil extractors & refiners. Exxon Mobil and a lot of others are direct descendants of Standard Oil, which was broken up by a monopoly. The Rockefeller family still owns a significant amount of shares in these companies.
Howard Hughes' remaining assets, however, are no where near as sprawling. He owned a lot of real estate, an airline, and some film studios I believe. Most of which I think has been liquidated, but even if there was anything left after that, I'm sure it's worth a lot less than Rockefeller's assets.
