In the late 1800s businesses began to thrive some individual took advantage of their resources to become wealthy men. John D. Rockefeller was one of these men. I believe that Rockefeller is captain of industry because he gives out many jobs and donates most of his money when he was dying.
His life started in July 8 of 1839. He was the second child and the eldest boy. His dad was a traveling business man and his mom was a stay at home mom. He got his first job as an office clerk. At age 20 he and Maurice Clerk founded the standard oil company. They made 450,000 their first year. A few years went buy and he decided to buy his competitors out but this made the oil cheaper and bigger so more people got jobs.
Once his business grew more and more
