The Rockefeller Fortune: How One Family Stayed Rich for 150 Years

John D. Rockefeller died in 1937 worth over $300 billion in today's money—the richest person in modern history. But here's what's more impressive: his descendants are STILL wealthy. Seven generations later. Over 200 living descendants. The fortune never disappeared.

Most wealthy families lose everything within three generations. 70% are broke by the second generation. 90% by the third. It's called the "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves" curse.

The Rockefellers defied it.

How? They built a system. Trust funds that still pay today. Foundations that preserve wealth. Education that teaches values. Diversification that protects against any single failure. And generational thinking that plans for descendants 150 years in the future.

In this video, we rewind to see exactly how the Rockefeller family created and preserved one of history's greatest fortunes—from John D.'s start as a poor bookkeeper to Standard Oil's monopoly to the dynasty that still exists today.
