Rockefeller was an American industrialist born on July 8, 1839 in Richford, New York. He had very big ambitions at the young age of 16 while working as a book keeper after taking a 10 week accounting class. In 1863, he built his first oil refinery in Ohio. It quickly became a monopoly refining 90% of America's oil , after his company came to a secret agreement with the railroads. Competitors of the Standard Oil Company either had to let themselves be bought or pay extremely high shipping rates.
