THE STORY OF JOHN D ROCKEFELLER - The business magnate and richest man in the world (and the world’s first billionaire). There was a time when anyone would tremble upon hearing the name John D. Rockefeller. Not only was he the world’s first billionaire, he’s one of the richest people in history. His empire - Standard Oil - became the most dominant monopoly in the world by brutally crushing competitors, taking control of multiple industries, bribing the government into submission, and treating business as if it was war. Because of his ruthless business practices and secretive deals, Rockefeller made many enemies. His career is filled with bitter rivalries like with Andrew Carnegie, and even ferocious battles against US Presidents. But, before he was the titan of the oil industry, Rockefeller was at the very bottom of society. His story is one of only a handful of cases where someone manages to rise from the depths of poverty, to the absolute peak of wealth and power. Rockefeller’s story is at times inspiring, and at times… chilling. It’s an example of what happens when greed and ambition go completely unchecked. This Rockefeller documentary shows the insane true story of John D Rockefeller, the history of Standard Oil and one of the craziest rags to riches stories. At times it’s an inspiring business story with lessons for entrepreneurs, at other times it’s a dark business story showing the worst of corporate greed. And after crushing his competition, through a series of strategic investments Rockefeller became the richest person in the world (even surpassing Andrew Carnegie). Adjusting for inflation, he is one of the richest self made men in history. And when his business empire got split up and he got given shares in other companies, he became even richer as their stock price soared on the stock market. But before all that wealth, let me take you back to 1839, where a young John D. Rockefeller is born into poverty…

Lolololol you never heard of the City of London Corporation and the chaps that funded rockefeller and were more than billionaires for more than 3 centuries , have you ? 😅 kind'a embarassing title for the video
Businesses were, are and probably will be evil, if it's profitable...
“he who works all day has no time to make money”- John D Rockefeller

Do you have oil business?
An mfing gangster.
Absolutely true but depends where you are in life
That is one bad ass quote... You don't have to love him to admit the man was a true savage.
From the script writing, to narration, to visual effects, your channel never disappoints.
Yeah, agreed. He has a voice & accent well suited to the subject matter as well
I like how he started using AI image generators for teddy yelling lmao
The volume & depth of research for any given subject is totally mind blowing. *The hard work dedication and commitment to your channel - Hats off to you & you deserve our salute*
It’s pretty much a ripoff of The Men Who Built America.

"Rockefeller's Fortune Unveiled: The Legacy of an American Tycoon" is a masterpiece. Pageturn Junction is where to find it. Thank me later!!
This book is phenomenal. Highly recommend it
greetings to everyone and a big greeting to the creator of this genius video, I recently came across borlest and found the book Astro Money Alchemy, which dives deeper into the world of finance, and the story about the mysterious secrets of today's businessmen, I have not seen it yet, genius, and once again I have to praise this video is really good
Already liking thus videi

When ever John D Rockefellr donated money it was to get something in return. He's said "I want a nation of workers not thinkers" shortly after he donated $180M to build a school system that makes workers, That's why schools don't teach about taxes or any financial. He has ownership to the Federal reserve & the IRS works for John's descendants & partners.
Exactly! Or how schools for the most part don’t teach other valuable, relevant skills to be successful.
@@caiseejc let's go say hi, they own an island off the bottom of south America, the island is blurred out on Google maps. It around 60 miles.
Well the world economy wouldn't work if everyone was a business man , unless we get enough advanceed for everything to be done by Ai
Those millions or billions he 'donated' to his own charitable trusts have been all tax exempt i.e. tax avoidance entities. The trustees only have to give out 5% of the growth of the 'donation' to real charities each year. Today many set up 'charitable entity' as tax avoidance scheme
Is there a good book that details this?
There's a book called money's hidden magic, and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract a lot of money, it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
its all bullshit inheritence garbage, they took advantage of a time of development that no longer exists, get real

I’d really appreciate dates more in your stories. It would just be easier to follow the timeline with the date being given more often for large events.
Honestly yes, please. Although it may be harder to pinpoint, it still is a very important part of constructing the narrative, the timeline needs to be easily followed even in a linear story
i agree great video tho
Tbh I disagree dates would distract from the story and I feel it's irrelevant in general but I understand why y'all would want them
Do you feel punctuation or the use of periods is irrelevant, as well? But can you understand why “we” would want them? 🔝
ya dates on the screen would be fine
Such a honor to edit these first 5 chapters! This is a masterpiece. 🎉
The editing is 😚👌! Bravo!!
Thank you dude! Editing is nothing without this awesome storytelling from John 🔥
Thank you for your amazing edits ❤
Editing is hard ngl
How much for such a edit?
39:02 "I did not come here to sell. I understood you wished to buy" That's the hardest line dropped in last 10 centuries
truth
John bought tram companies which ran on electricity, disbanded them and replaced them with bus companies which ran on oil. He also created the University, which created the modern western medical system based on pharmaceuticals which is a petro-chemical product based system that some believe have health benefits. This meant that the rockerfeller universities programmed doctors to only use pharmaceuticals. Drs could only become licenced to practice pharmaceutical medicine if they went to a university. Not philanthropy but monopoly.
Yes!
I don't know about you but I would heavily prefer my doctor to have been educated in a university 😊
I wouldn't care as long as they have a standardized qualification license.@@ethiopiandonny3363
The university system was meant to mass produce docile and one dimensional workers with little critical thinking, to enable the interchangeability of parts and labor in mass production systems.
I think you missed the point @@ethiopiandonny3363
John D. Rockefeller's business tactics were undeniably ambitious, and his journey from the bottom to becoming one of the wealthiest men in history is like a gripping movie plot. His quote, "he who works all day has no time to make money," reflects a pragmatic view on productivity. It's fascinating to study the mindset and strategies of such a successful entrepreneur.
Too bad his company now ruins every single thing about modern economy. Rockefeller has bought up the majority of the housing market rendering previous and current generation incapable of buying and owning a house in our lifetime. We are now rendered to renting houses rather than actually buying them and in modern US Rockefeller pretty much have the government by their throats with lobbying (legal corruption)
@@Charlie43348 No, I'm your father.

Was also easier for him in those days because the technology wasn't there to have credit scores and tracking of what you have etc, lieing your way and being persuasive to get what you want. You can't walk into a bank these days and say "looking to invest 10k" and then getting a loan 😂
Just study psychopaths then 😂. They'll amaze you
I did a major project in school in high school on these types of robber barons. Mine was directly about John D Rockefeller. I heard his name in a few books previously and saw he was considered one of the richest humans in history. This fascinated me when I did the project on his and thought at first that he was probably a great man to achieve that level of success. It was through this project and the subsequent research done on him, his company and his life that I realized that I once idolized one of the most despicable people to ever exist. It's astounding to read into what sort of atrocities and downright evil things that he did in the pursuit of monetary gain. At the end of the project, I considered John D. Rockefeller as a grade A piece of shit. That awful huma's success and overwhelming greed has influenced more of the same type of garbage behavior that a surprising amount of people have done as well and the overarching greed infested society that we have developed.
Somebody has to push the boundaries for the establishment of law and order. It’s easy to look back and see the lives he ruined but his legacy in business practise is taught in schools to this day. His rise from poverty and strained family life is incredibly motivating as well.
@@rickjones2912 but the cycle of evil did not break if ANYTHING the upcoming evil will be the worst the planet will ever witnessed

And that's what he's done. His educational system is still being used all over the world, and it's easy to find the information that he's never created the system to do good. He just wanted to make us all mindless slaves, and the medical business is about treating, not actual healing. Also, our whole history has been rewritten, and there's about 4000+ years uncounted for, keep in mind the winner writes history. They have planned this for thousands of years. Ankh em Ma'at

In today's changing economic scene, it's wise to diversify your investments. Consider a mix of traditional assets like savings accounts, stocks, and bonds, along with dynamic options like cryptocurrencies. This strategy helps guard against inflation and economic uncertainty. Staying informed and blending traditional and innovative investments is key for financial resilience. Samuel Peter Descovich played a vital role in making my portfolio a success.
Your insights on diversifying the investment portfolio are on point. Combining traditional assets with dynamic options like cryptocurrencies makes strategic sense in today's economic landscape.
In navigating the economic landscape, a diversified portfolio blending traditional and dynamic assets proves to be a strategic choice. The successful portfolio managed under the guidance of Samuel Peter Descovich exemplifies the impact of well-informed decisions, underscoring the significance of expert advice in today's financial landscape.
Exactly! Which is why I appreciate giving a financial advisor the power of decision-making. Giving their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risks for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it's practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $1million working with Samuel Peter Descovich, for more than five years.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Samuel Peter Descovich support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams

you have stepped up the quality of these and I'm here for it. I love what you're doing. keep it up
This is without any doubt your best video ever. Especially visually, but also in its writing, the story is captivating and the effects are even more polished than ever. Congratulations and keep going man, you're reinventing youtube documentaries.
Lmfao! John Rockefeller ruined medicine and made plant medicine illegal and he literally owns most science. This ending was hilarious
They really forced a feel-good ending for no reason here
I thought the same shit, the money he gave away were tax writeoffs, and he wanted something for every dollar he gave away. Any dollar he spent was for the purpose of his own greed and ambition. And the school part was just to make sure we were all little ant soldiers, not a thinker among us.

One of the best business case studies I ever watched on KZhead. Thankyou MagnatesMedia
You are one of the very few channels where I can see the same level of obsessive passion for the content you produce that I have. One of the very few channels that truly astonish me and make me look closely. 49 minutes in an age where we all have goldfish standard attention rates is simply one thing: passion. That really can be seen in the animations as well (that you have upped quite a bit ever since I came across your channel last time btw), your entire channel layout. In fact, about a year ago, I was so inspired by the structure of your older video descriptions that I adapted it to fit my own channel’s vibe - always aiming to keep my unique touch. Continue what you are doing and if you ever wanna have a chat YT freak to YT freak let me know. ✌️
I see myself as someone who lacks ambition. I’m perfectly content with the things I have. Rockefeller was a ruthless man, and yet I can’t help but admire his ambition and ability to carry out his goals. It’s fascinating to see the way the brilliant minds of America fought tooth and nail for what they wanted as technology and history progressed.
Same. As long as i'm not starving to death and have enough money to save for retirement then i'm content in life.
@@Karlach_yea but in the case of Rockefeller, he lived a simple life as well while also securing his descendants success. I would gladly die knowing my grandkids won’t ever starve like I did.
He may have been the 1st to be called a billionaire but many more before him exceeded his wealth.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff Solomon, Mansa Musa, etc. Although with all of the information put into this video, it felt like a pretty damn well made movie. And I enjoyed it :)
Same here. Getting money past my needs really isn’t a motivating factor and it doesn’t seem like that’ll change anytime soon. I like hearing these stories bc the difference in mindset and actions is just very interesting.
Not only are you a fantastic storyteller, you're also an amazing video editor/animator. I really want to edit videos like you do. They're so interesting and so much to learn.

Say what you want about his business tactics; this man was a genius. The levels of ambition and ruthless monopolizing…it’s like something out of a movie. Literally came from the bottom to one of the wealthiest men in history.

Thanks for the time and effort you and your team put into these! Your channel is my favorite to watch! Cannot wait to see who or what comes next! Awesome job!!!
I love the intro and how the video started. Goes to show how much work you put into it.
I'm a dedicated viewer from India, and I've greatly benefited from your insightful videos. Recently, I observed that KZhead introduced a feature allowing users to switch audio tracks to different languages. This has proven to be extremely beneficial for content accessibility, as demonstrated by major KZheadrs like MrBeast. Considering the diverse global audience, I believe incorporating multilingual audio tracks in your videos could significantly enhance the learning experience for viewers who encounter language challenges. This feature has the potential to make your valuable content accessible to a wider international audience. Thank you for considering this suggestion. Looking forward to more enriching content from you.

I want Hollywood to make a biopic on the world's first billionaire, J.D.Rockefeller.
Ugh no, don’t let those commies do it.
It could be good, though Biopics are far more often shit than worth watching, let alone actually great. Usually the great ones are either about lesser known figures, and/or aren't just a highlight reel of someone's entire life, but focus on a specific event, timr oerjod (Oppenheimer was incredible in part because of its use of both of these, reallt only focusing on select timeframes within a 30 year period, and of course he's not well known to the public, even to the people that do know who he is, really didnt know much (like me, who knew about him and the Manhattan project only, nothing beyond that

The donations were future investments. A man that ruthless doesn't just "give" money away without strings attached. Don't forget that pharmaceuticals are oil based products and the general education board that was heavily influenced by Rockefeller Foundations ensured vocational learning, "The problem with this approach was not with opening doors to poor children, as the philanthropists viewed their donations, but with closing doors to any other area a student might choose to pursue". Sorry but figures like Rockefeller, Carnegie and Morgan are prime examples how a person can lose their humanity in pursuit of profit and status.
