Investopedia explains 'J. D. Rockefeller'
Rockefeller was born in 1839 and died in 1937. His oil company was eventually broken up by antitrust laws. By then he had practically abandoned his oil company and gone into charity work, establishing the Rockefeller foundation which supported such organizations as schools, community works, and health organizations. This institution has donated millions of dollars to worthy causes of many kinds over the years and still exists today.
