Rockefeller made his millions in New York in the oil industry. As the founder of Standard Oil, he accumulated vast wealth and a virtual monopoly of the oil industry. He also set up numerous foundations, as well as a university, and pioneered a targeted approach to philanthropy. This enabled him to affect the progression of modern medicine and science, as well as education.
