The Top 10 Richest People of All-Time:1. John D. Rockefeller Fortune: $336 billionSource of wealth: He founded Standard Oil in 1870, at the age of 31, and bought up most of the oil refineries in the United States, eventually controlling about 90% of the American oil business.2. Andrew Carnegie Fortune: $309 billionSource of wealth: Carnegie invested in the steel business when the market was booming, eventually ending up at the head of the U.S. Steel empire.3. William the Conquer Peak fortune: $209 billionSource of wealth: Was called William the Bastard until he led the last successful foreign invasion of England in 1066. Although he became a monarch, we’re counting the spoils of war before he took the throne, based on what he gave out to his sons Odo and Robert.4. Cornelius Vanderbilt Fortune: $185 billionSource of wealth: In 1862, he began to buy railroad lines. Although already 70 years old, his wealth mostly comes from this business of the 19th century. Prior to that, he was known as a cold-blooded steam-boat entrepreneur.5. Alan Rufus Fortune: $149 billionSource of wealth: A Norman who joined William The Conqueror in the invasion of Britain in the 11th century, Alan “The Red” had 250,000 acres of land from Yorkshire to London. He also owned Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire, which, for the time, was considered very comfortable.6. Bill Gates Peak fortune: $136 billionSource of wealth: Founded Microsoft with Paul Allen in 1975. He held onto shares as Microsoft dominated the age of computers, peaking in personal wealth at the top of the Dot Com Bubble.7. William de Warenne Peak fortune: $134 billionSource of wealth: Originally from Normandy, William I de Warenne participated in the battle of Hastings and was rewarded with properties in Sussex, Northfolk and Yorkshire. He became the first Earl of Surrey.8. John Jacob Aster Peak fortune: $121 billionSource of wealth: A successful fur trader, he established a near monopoly within the U.S. by around 1800. He subsequently switched trades and went on to investing in real estate, focusing on New York City.9. Richard Fitzalan 10th Earl of ArundelPeak fortune: $108 billionSource of wealth: The Earl of Arundel and quite the military leader. He fought in the Scottish Independence wars and in the Hundred Years’ War. Subsequent Earls of Arundel — his sons — would make this list, but we’re only counting that money once.10. Stephen Girard Peak fortune: $105 billionSource of wealth: Successful in the shipping trade, he was a French-born American merchant who went into the banking business later in his life, owning a bank that was called “Girard’s Bank”.Please Follow Us on Facebook & Twitter & Don’t Be Shy To Leave a Comment!Related posts:The Richest People of All-Time: 1-10World’s Richest People of All-Time: 11-20The Richest People of All-Time: 11-20Read more at Stocks on Wall Street
