| | John D. Rockefeller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rockefeller was born in Richford, New York, second of six children to William Avery Rockefeller (November 13, 1810 - May 11, 1906) and Eliza Davison (September 12, 1813 - March 28, 1889). |
 | | In 1865 Rockefeller had gotten so involved in the oil business, and was so confident of its future growth, that he sold out his share of the commission business to his partner Clark, then applied the proceeds toward a significant investment in another refinery, and formed the partnership of Rockefeller and Andrews. |
 | | As a consequence, Rockefeller (along with the Rothschilds) was considered in that country the canonical billionaire--synonymous with extreme wealth. |
