His first job, in the 1850s, earned him a wage of just $3.57 per week, but he was given a pay rise and promotion within months. The zeroes on his pay packet multiplied, and by 1913, he had earned himself an estimated $900 million. Having made his fortune in oil, Rockefeller retired in 1897. By 1922 he had given away $1 billion to charity and to his family. Rockefeller died in 1937, but still remains, without doubt, the richest person ever! </SPAN> </TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=54516"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD valign="top"><TABLE width="169" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#f8e204"><TBODY><TR height="3"><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD align="center"></TD></TR><TR height="3"><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD><TABLE cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><TBODY><TR><TD><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_left.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/3wWho.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><SPAN> John D Rockefeller</SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD colspan="3"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_bottom.gif" /></TD></TR><TR height="3"><TD colspan="3"></TD></TR><TR><TD><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_left.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/3wWhen.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><SPAN> 1913</SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD colspan="3"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_bottom.gif" /></TD></TR><TR height="3"><TD colspan="3"></TD></TR><TR><TD><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_left.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/3wWhere.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><SPAN> USA</SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD colspan="3"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_bottom.gif" /></TD></TR><TR height="3"><TD colspan="3"></TD></TR><TR><TD><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_left.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/3wWhat.gif" /></TD><TD valign="top"><SPAN> $900,000,000</SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD colspan="3"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/design_pics/shadow_bottom.gif" /></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <TABLE cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><TBODY><TR><TD> </TD></TR><TR><TD><A href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/../sendtofriend.asp?ID=54516"><IMG border="0" src="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/sendtoafriend.jpg" /></A></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0D7EE6FC-A00A-4D44-9D6F-6C94E1DD6003/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
