This summer (July, August and Septmber) we will have the theme Economics.
The following lists will appear on (instead of every seventh of a month) every day with the "0" in it. (10, 20 and 30) So we will get three lists a month instead of one!
Biggest companies of all time
Richest people ever
Most valuable currencies
Richest counties now
Lagerst national debts
Richest living people
Richest countries ever
Biggest companies today
Least valuable currencies
this time, you will find a list on the richest people of all time, who all happen to be men. except for some people of the richest family of all time, the Rothschild family, a banking family, of which the maximum wealth is estimated at (in current day US$) more than a trillion! but families don't count, as they aren't one single person, but a collective of people. I must inform you that rulers (herital) of countries or parts of them are NOT included, for their wealth can be based on the GDP of their properties, not their personal success.
10.
Jay Gould - US$ 74.8 billion
opening our list with a stunning wealth of 74800000000 dollar, Gould made his fortune through the transportation by train industry. to put his money in perspective, if he would give away a dollar a second he would spend over 2300 years to give it all away, so if his family started at his death, in 1892, they would be finished somewhere in 4265, which is in 2252 years! can you imagine how long it would take for the richest person ever!
9.
Friedrich Weyerhäuser - US$ 83.4 billion
Prussian monetary genius Weyerhäuser is the most opulent man of a country that does not exist today. He made his riches through wood industry. Existing to date, the Weyenhäuser Company owns spacious areas in Canada.
8.
A.T. Steward - US$ 93.4 billion
Lower Manhattan is a very living part of the City That Never Sleeps, New York, Steward was the first to open a departement store there, genius! The Irish entrepeneur built up a shopping empire and had a reasonable part of the American mail industry.
7.
Étienne Girard - US$ 110.3 billion
The first in this list to surpass the 100,000,000,000 dollar, and one of the only seven in world history to do that, is French-born American banker who saved the U.S. economy during and after the war of 1812. Vive le Français!
6.
John J. Astor - US$ 127.1 billion
The American fur trader (as you see, that CAN be lucrative) who nearly escaped financial "death" through monopoly around 1800 built up a fortune that made him the richest man ever, he held that title until the number 3 of our list surpassed him shortly after.
5.
Bill Gates - US$ 138.9 billion
The founder, long time Chairman and still owner of Microsoft, Bill Gates, is known as the most generous person in the world. Though Microsoft grew since his peak fortune in 1999, his wealth shrunk to a 70 billion today, which makes him, after a while that Carlos Slim Helu was #1, the richest man today. The reason for his net worth to decrease was his extensive Charity work, through the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
4.
Muammar Al-Gadiffi - US$ 204.2 billion
The fearsome dictator of Libya, known as Colonel Gadaffi ruled his state for decades, as exclusive owner of the Libyan oil industry, he controlled a fortune of over two hundred billion dollars, which made him, secretly, the richest man in the world for a long time.
3.
Cornelius Vanderbilt - US$ 194.4 billion
Dutch American Cornelius Vanderbilt is known as a steamboat entrepeneur with a heart of frozen stone, got his enormous net worth by connecting New York to the surrounding areas using steamboats and railways.
2.
Andrew Carnegie - US$ 329.2 billion
The richest European person, and the richest not American man of all time, the Scotsman Andrew Carnegie built up a major part of the american steel industry, earning millions. He constructed many railroads, and later sold his company, with the extremely creative name of U.S. Steel Corporation, to JP Morgan.
1.
John D. Rockefeller - US$ 732 billion
By owning Standard Oil, which controlled the American Oil market nearly completely around 1900, John D. Rockefeller became the most wealthy person of all time. In his days he was the first ever US$ Billionaire in history, his legacy today are companies like Exxon-Mobil, BP and Esso. the last of those is actually still called Standard Oil, which shortened is S.O., which is pronounced Esso. Rockefeller is often seen as a heartless human being, willing to sacrifice everything but himself for his own success, despite that, he was the first filantropist like Bill Gates is today. He was far richer than anyone has ever been, although two people are claimed to have owned a lot more than he did, unfortunately, they haven't been proven to have ever existed, for all we know about them, is known from fictional sources. To come back at something I said with number 10, it would take rockefeller around 23212 years to give it all away at a rate of 1$ a second.
