John D. Rockefeller lived a long and eventful life. Having discovered a business streak in himself as a child, Rockefeller took up entrepreneurship at an early age and opened his first company at the age of eighteen. In 1870, he founded the Standard Oil company and became closely involved in oil, and ten years later, about 95 percent of all oil production in the United States was concentrated in his hands. In his memoirs, Rockefeller recalls his childhood, family, and the people he met along the way, and tells how he founded his own business. He also shares the principles that helped him make, maintain and increase his fortune, talks about work ethics and the role of charity in the lives of successful people.
