The Rockefellers trace their wealth back to John D. Rockefeller (pictured right), who founded Standard Oil in 1870. The company grew to control most of the oil refining in the U. S. , making John D. the nation's richest man and the country's first billionaire; adjusted to today’s 4 dollars he would have been worth in excess of $30 billion. He and son John Jr. later dedicated themselves to philanthropy, giving away more than $1 billion, including establishing the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University. John Jr. built Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan. Today, the fortune is spread out among 174 heirs. John D's only surviving grandson, David, who had a long career with Chase National Bank, is the world's oldest billionaire at age 101. In March 2016, the Rockefeller Family Fund, a family philanthropic entity, announced that it would divest all its fossil fuel investments, specifically calling out Exxon Mobil, a descendant of Standard Oil, for misleading the public about the risks of climate change.
