The Rockefeller family unit () is an American industrial, political, and banking family that owns 1 of the world'due south largest fortunes. The fortune was made in the American petroleum industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by brothers John D. Rockefeller and William A. Rockefeller Jr., primarily through Standard Oil (the predecessor of ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation).^[1] The family had a long association with, and control of, Chase Manhattan Banking concern.^[two] By 1977, the Rockefellers were considered ane of the most powerful families in American history.^[three] The Rockefeller family originated in Rhineland in Germany and family members moved to the Americas in the early on 18th century, while through Eliza Davison, with family roots in Middlesex County, New Jersey, John D. Rockefeller and William Rockefeller Jr. and their descendants are also of Scotch-Irish ancestry.^[iv]

Family groundwork [edit]

The Rockefeller family originated in the Rhineland region in Germany and tin be traced to the boondocks Neuwied in the early 17th century. The American family unit branch is descended from Johann Peter Rockefeller, who migrated from the Rhineland to Philadelphia in the Province of Pennsylvania around 1723. In the US, he became a plantation owner and landholder in Somerville, and Amwell, New Bailiwick of jersey.^[5] ^{[half dozen]} ^[7]

One of the first members of the Rockefeller family unit in New York was businessman William A. Rockefeller Sr., who was born to a Protestant family in Granger, New York. He had six children with his first wife Eliza Davison, a daughter of a Scots-Irish farmer,^[four] the most prominent of which were oil tycoons John D. Rockefeller and William A. Rockefeller Jr., the co-founders of Standard Oil. John D. Rockefeller (known every bit "Senior", equally opposed to his son John D. Rockefeller Jr., known every bit "Junior") was a devout Northern Baptist, and he supported many church building-based institutions.^[viii] ^[9] ^[10]

Family wealth [edit]

The combined wealth of the family—their total assets and investments plus the private wealth of its members—has never been known with any precision. The records of the family athenaeum relating to both the family and private members' cyberspace worth are closed to researchers.^[11]

From the starting time, the family'due south wealth has been under the consummate control of the male members of the dynasty, through the family unit office. Despite stiff-willed wives who had influence over their husbands' decisions—such as the pivotal female figure Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, married woman of John D. Rockefeller Jr.—in all cases they received allowances but and were never given even partial responsibility for the family unit fortune.^[12]

Much of the wealth has been locked upwards in the notable family unit trust of 1934 (which holds the bulk of the fortune and matures on the expiry of the 4th generation) and the trust of 1952, both administered by Chase Bank, the corporate successor to Hunt Manhattan Bank. These trusts have consisted of shares in the successor companies to Standard Oil and other diversified investments, as well as the family's considerable real estate holdings. They are administered past a trust committee that oversees the fortune.

Management of this fortune today also rests with professional person money managers who oversee the chief holding company, Rockefeller Financial Services, which controls all the family's investments, now that Rockefeller Center is no longer owned by the family. The present chairman is David Rockefeller Jr.

In 1992, it had five main arms:

Rockefeller & Co. (Money direction: Universities take invested some of their endowments in this visitor);
Venrock Associates (Venture Capital: an early investment in Apple Estimator was one of many it made in Silicon Valley entrepreneurial start-ups);
Rockefeller Trust Company (Manages hundreds of family unit trusts);

Acadia Run a risk Management (Insurance Broker: Contracts out policies for the family unit's vast fine art collections, real estate and individual planes.)^[13]

Legacy [edit]

A trademark of the dynasty over its 140-plus years has been the remarkable unity it has maintained, despite major divisions that developed in the late 1970s, and different other wealthy families such equally the Du Ponts and the Mellons. A primary reason has been the lifelong efforts of "Junior" to not only cleanse the name from the opprobrium stemming from the ruthless practices of Standard Oil but his tireless efforts to forge family unit unity fifty-fifty equally he allowed his 5 sons to operate independently. This was partly accomplished by regular brothers and family meetings, merely it was also because of the loftier value placed on family unit unity past kickoff Nelson and John Iii, and later especially with David.^[27]

Regarding achievements, in 1972, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy, the Carnegie Corporation, which has had a long clan with the family and its institutions, released a public statement on the influence of the family unit on non just philanthropy only encompassing a much wider field. Summing up a predominant view among the international philanthropic world, albeit one poorly grasped by the public, one judgement of this argument read: "The contributions of the Rockefeller family are staggering in their extraordinary range and in the scope of their contribution to humankind." ^[28]

John D. Rockefeller gave away United states of america$540 meg over his lifetime (in dollar terms of that fourth dimension), and became the greatest lay benefactor of medicine in history.^[29] His son, Junior, besides gave abroad over $537 one thousand thousand over his lifetime, bringing the full philanthropy of just two generations of the family to over $1 billion from 1860 to 1960.^[30] Added to this, the New York Times declared in a report in Nov 2006 that David Rockefeller's full charitable benefactions amount to most $900 meg over his lifetime.^[31]

The combined personal and social connections of the various family members are vast, both in the United States and throughout the world, including the most powerful politicians, royalty, public figures, and chief businessmen. Notable figures through Standard Oil alone accept included Henry Flagler and Henry H. Rogers. Contemporary figures include Henry Kissinger, Richard Parsons (Chairman and CEO of Fourth dimension Warner), C. Fred Bergsten, Peter 1000. Peterson (Senior Chairman of the Blackstone Group), and Paul Volcker.

In 1991, the family was presented with the Honor Award from the National Building Museum for four generations worth of preserving and creating some of the U.S.'s well-nigh important buildings and places. David accustomed the honor on the family's behalf.^[32] The ceremony coincided with an exhibition on the family'southward contributions to the built environment, including John Sr.'south preservation efforts for the Hudson River Palisades, the restoration of Williamsburg, Virginia, construction of Rockefeller Heart, and Governor Nelson's efforts to construct depression- and middle-income housing in New York state.^[33]

He also funded the notable excavations at Luxor in Egypt, as well as establishing a Classical Studies School in Athens. In add-on, he provided the funding for the structure of the Palestine Archaeological Museum in East Jerusalem - the Rockefeller Museum.^[35]

Conservation [edit]

Kickoff with John D. Rockefeller Sr., the family has been a major forcefulness in land conservation.^[36] Over the generations, it has created more than xx national parks and open spaces, including the Cloisters, Acadia National Park, Forest Colina Park, the Nature Conservancy, the Rockefeller Woods in California's Humboldt Redwoods State Park (the largest stand of old-growth redwoods), and Grand Teton National Park, amid many others. John Jr., and his son Laurance (and his son Laurance Jr. aka Larry) were particularly prominent in this area.

The family was honoured for its conservation efforts in Nov 2005, by the National Audubon Lodge, one of the United States' largest and oldest conservation organizations, at which over 30 family members attended. At the event, the society's president, John Flicker, notably stated: "Cumulatively, no other family in America has made the contribution to conservation that the Rockefeller family has made".^[36]

In 2016 fifth-generation descendants of John Sr. criticized ExxonMobil, ane of the successors to his visitor Standard Oil, for their record on climate alter. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Rockefeller Family Fund both backed reports suggesting that ExxonMobil knew more than about the threat of global warming than it had disclosed. David Kaiser, grandson of David Rockefeller Sr. and president of the Rockefeller Family Fund, said that the "...company seems to be morally bankrupt." Valerie Rockefeller Wayne, girl of former Senator Jay Rockefeller, said, "Considering the source of the family wealth is fossil fuels, we feel an enormous moral responsibility for our children, for anybody -- to motion frontwards."^[37] The Rockefeller Brothers Fund announced it was divesting from fossil fuels in September 2014, the Rockefeller Family Fund announced plans to divest in March 2016, and the Rockefeller Foundation pledged to dump their fossil fuel holdings in December 2020.^[38] ^[39] ^[40] With a $v billion endowment, the Rockefeller Foundation was "the largest US foundation to embrace the speedily growing divestment movement." CNN writer Matt Egan noted, "This divestment is particularly symbolic considering the Rockefeller Foundation was founded past oil money."^[forty] In May 2021 Rockefeller descendants Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case appear a ten-year funding initiative, the Equation Campaign, to fight new fossil fuel development.^[41]
