Royal Connections
Rockefeller's grandmother Lucy was a direct descendent of Lady Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne, the second wife of King Henry VIII. Although never confirmed by the court of King Henry, it has been speculated by a number of historians that Lady Mary's daughter Katherine Knollys might well have been the product of Mary's affair with the King, which in itself is well documented.
Tough and Ruthless
The business practices of John D. Rockefeller were ruthless and resulted in the passing of antitrust laws in the USA. Only a decade after the incorporation of Standard Oil, it had a near monopoly of the oil business in the U.S.
Philanthropy
After retiring at the age of 56, Rockefeller poured his energy into his charitable endeavours, helping to create the University of Chicago, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (later named Rockefeller University), and the Rockefeller Foundation. His charitable donations totalled over $530m.
