Rockefeller family
The Rockefeller family, founded by John Davison Rockefeller (1839-1937) and his brother William Rockefeller (1841-1922), made a fortune in the oil business during the latter part of the 19th century primarily through their Standard Oil Company. The family became one of the great philanthropic families in the United States, and members have held high public offices including Vice President of the United States, held by Nelson Rockefeller.
