    Rockefeller also found a use for gasoline and had made first engine right? Then ford came along and made the model N first afordable car for the common man. Then became famous for the Model T. Am i right? They dont teach what i learned there in any history class ive been in in school. :O

    Andrew Carnegie was so rich he made Carnegie Hall for the fun of it.

    I applaud him.

    Rockefeller is by far the most interesting of the 3. Read his biography, you learn a lot about business in a way you wouldn't normally think.
