This video tells the life story of John D. Rockefeller, the businessman who rose from modest beginnings to become one of the wealthiest individuals in history.
Born in 1839, Rockefeller began his career as a young bookkeeper, learning the importance of discipline, careful planning, and attention to detail. As the oil industry began to grow in the United States, he saw an opportunity to build something larger. Through patience, efficiency, and relentless organization, he created Standard Oil, a company that would dominate the industry for decades.
Rockefeller became known for both his enormous success and the controversy surrounding his business methods. His company controlled much of the oil market, leading to criticism and eventually the breakup of Standard Oil. Yet his influence on industry, transportation, and modern business remained enormous.
In his later years, Rockefeller devoted much of his fortune to philanthropy, funding schools, universities, medical research, and public health projects. This gentle bedtime history follows his life as a long journey through ambition, wealth, and the changing world of American industry.
