John D. Rockefeller

6 feet?

Became the first US billionaire through ruthless business practices.

Suddenly acquired a conscience later in life, and became a great philanthropist (easy enough to give money away when you're already a billionaire)

John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s leadership style was characterized by his hands-on approach, attention to detail, and strategic vision. He was known for his emphasis on philanthropy, integrity, and community engagement in his leadership roles. Rockefeller believed in fostering partnerships and collaboration to drive positive change and impact in society.

John D. Rockefeller was a prominent philanthropist who founded the Rockefeller Foundation in 1913. He donated vast sums of money to various causes, particularly in the fields of education, public health, and scientific research. Some of his notable contributions include funding the University of Chicago and the Rockefeller University, as well as supporting medical research that led to the development of the first yellow fever vaccine.

Enough that it's still being donated. Somewhere combined I think around 60-130 billion dollars

Anyone that was against capitalism or Social Darwinism. But the most known person to have hated John D. Rockefeller was Ida Tarbell. She wrote a series attacking Rockefeller to uncover his unethical ways of creating a monopoly. (The series was known as "The History of the Standard Oil Company".) She basically hated him because Rockefeller drove out many small businesses out of the competing market, which included her father.

John D. Rockefeller helped reduce the price of oil & kerosene very dramatically. If it wasn't for him, we would be paying sooo much more for oil & kerosene then we do now

He married Laura Celestia Spelman in 1864. She was born in 1839 and died in 1915. He died in 1937.

He justified it by telling the public they "weren't good enough" for the market.
