Information About

Rockefeller Family

The family can be traced at least back to Goddard Rockefeller , who was born in Rhine Valley , Germany in 1590 . Goddard would be the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of John D.

LEGACY

John D. Rockefeller denied ever being worth $1,000,000,000. However, on September 29, 1916, he officially passed the mark. He reportedly gave away more than half. The Rockefeller name is imprinted on a number of places throughout the United States, most notably in New York City .

The Rockefeller Center - a New York City building complex

The Rockefeller Foundation - a charitable organization

Either of two congressional committees (in 1972 and 1975 ) dubbed the Rockefeller Commission .

He formed and funded the Bureau of Social Hygiene for the scientific study of prostitution (which he viewed as a vice associated with feeble-mindedness and disease).

The Rockefeller family donated some sizable sums towards the rebuilding of France after World War I . For this reason, it is still considered a comparison point for extreme wealth ("rich like Rockefeller"); this usage is now dated and fading out.

The Rockefeller family was also responsible for the creation and endowment of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation which operates the restored area at Williamsburg, Virginia .

Donation leading to the formation of University Of Chicago , the Nobel Prize Winning Power in 1890 where the first American Nobel Prize in science was produced in 1907. {Link without Title}
