9. John D. Rockefeller
John D. Rockefeller is like the Babe Ruth of American wealth. He was the first American worth more than a billion dollars (that’s not adjusted for inflation, by the way). At one point during his career, he controlled more than 90% of the United States’ oil. When Rockefeller died in 1937 (after 40 years of total retirement, it should be noted) his assets accounted for more than 1.5% of the American economy. Today, his fortune would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $340 billion or so.
