In New York City, no name comes as close to royalty as Rockefeller. Thanks to the fortune built up by industrialist and Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller (at one point the richest American of all time), the family is one of the last Gilded Age dynasties to have maintained their wealth and influence into the 21st Century. These days, the fifth generation descendants of the legendary oil baron rule the roost, and are keeping the Rockefeller legacy alive in the worlds of finance, fashion, philanthropy, and beyond. |
