Cornelius Vanderbilt was a famous big time businessman in the days when the United States did not intercede into big business to any large degree. Vanderbilt did a number of worthwhile deeds such as establishing Vanderbilt University.

What can be said about him concerning "like" is that all powerful & successful people are liked & disliked. His peers were in the same mode, some wealthy men liked him some did not.

In many progressive circles he was not a popular figure.
