Do you know what's interesting about that list?Of the 75 names,an astonishing 14are Americans born within nine years of each other in the mid 19th century.Think about that for a moment.Historians start with Cleopatra and the Pharaohs and comb through every year in human history ever since,looking in every corner of the world for evidence of extraordinary wealth,and almost 20percent of the names they end up with come from a single generation in a single country.
Here's the list:
Rank | Name | Birth | Rank | Name | Birth |
01 | John Rockefeller | 1839 | 44 | James G.Fair | 1831 |
02 | Andrew Carnegie | 1835 | 54 | Henry H.Rogers | 1840 |
28 | Frederick Weyerhaeuser | 1834 | 57 | J.P.Morgan | 1837 |
33 | Jay Gould | 1836 | 58 | Oliver Payne | 1839 |
34 | Marshall Field | 1834 | 62 | George Pullman | 1831 |
35 | George Baker | 1840 | 64 | Peter Widener | 1834 |
36 | Hetty Green | 1834 | 65 | Philip Armor | 1832 |
If you were born in the late 1840's,you missed it.You were too young to take advantage of that moment.If you were born in the 1820's,you were too old:your mindset was shaped by the pre-Civil War pattern.But there is a particular,narrow nine-year window that was just perfect for seeing the potential that the future held.All of the 14 men and women on that list had vision and talent.But they also were given an extraordinary opportunity.
