About
John Davison Rockefeller (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American industrialist who played a prominent role in the early oil industry with the founding of Standard Oil (ExxonMobil is the largest of its descendants). Over a forty-year period, Rockefeller built Standard Oil into the largest company in the world, and was for a time the richest man in the world. [1] A devout Baptist, he supported many church activities throughout his life, and spent his last forty years focusing on philanthropic pursuits, primarily education and public health, eventually giving away about half of his wealth.
