This article is about the family. For the name in general, see Rockefeller.
The Rockefeller family (ROCK-ə-fell-ər) is an American industrial, political, and banking family that owns one of the world's 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 Bank.[2] By , the Rockefellers were considered one of the most powerful families in American history.[3]
The Rockefellers originated in Rhineland in Germany and family members moved to the Americas in the early 18th century, while through Eliza Davison, with family roots in Middlesex County, New Jersey, John D.
Rockefeller and William A. Rockefeller Jr. and their descendants are also of Scots-Irish ancestry.[4]
Background
John D. Rockefeller Sr.
William A. Rockefeller Jr.
The Rockefeller family traces their origin to the now abandoned German village Rockenfeld in the early 17th century.
The American family branch is descended from Johann Peter Rockefeller (), who migrated from the Rhineland to Philadelphia in the Province of Pennsylvania around In the US, he became a plantation owner and landholder in Somerville, and Amwell, New Jersey.[5][6][7]
One of the first members of the Rockefeller family 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,[4] 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 as "Senior", as opposed to his son John D. Rockefeller Jr., known as "Junior") was a devout Northern Baptist, and he supported many church-based institutions.[8][9][10] While the Rockefeller family are mostly Baptists,[11][12] some of the Rockefellers were Episcopalians.[13]
Wealth
The combined wealth of the family&#;their total assets and investments plus the individual wealth of its members&#;has never been known with any precision.
The records of the family archives relating to both the family and individual members' net worth are closed to researchers.[14]
From the outset, the family's wealth has been under the complete control of the male members of the dynasty, through the family office. Despite strong-willed wives who had influence over their husbands' decisions—such as the pivotal female figure Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, wife of John D.
Rockefeller Jr.—in all cases they received allowances only and were never given even partial responsibility for the family fortune.[15]
Much of the wealth has been locked up in the family trust of (which holds the bulk of the fortune and matures on the death of the fourth generation) and the trust of , both administered by Chase Bank, the corporate successor to Chase 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 by a trust committee that oversees the fortune.
Management of this fortune today also rests with professional money managers who oversee the principal holding company, Rockefeller Financial Services, which controls all the family's investments. The Rockefeller Center is no longer owned by the family.
Its present chairman and patriarch is David Rockefeller Jr.
In , it had five main arms:
Rockefeller & Co. (Money management: Universities have invested some of their endowments in this company);
Venrock Associates (Venture Capital: an early investment in Apple Computer was one of many it made in Silicon Valley entrepreneurial start-ups);
Rockefeller Trust Company (Manages hundreds of family trusts);
Rockefeller Insurance Company (Manages liability insurance for family members);
Acadia Risk Management (Insurance Broker: Contracts out policies for the family's vast art collections, real estate and private planes.)[16]
Real estate and institutions
The family was heavily involved in numerous real estate construction projects in the U.S.
during the 20th century.[17] Chief among them:
Rockefeller Center, a multi-building complex built at the start of the Depression in Midtown Manhattan. The construction of Rockefeller Center was financed solely by the family

Paul Laurence Dunbar Housing, Harlem, New York City
Lavoisier Apartments, Manhattan, New York City

A development in Radburn, New Jersey[19][20]
A further project involved David Rockefeller in a major middle-income housing development when he was elected in as chairman of Morningside Heights, Inc., in Manhattan by fourteen major institutions that were based in the area, including Columbia University.
The result, in , was the six-building apartment complex known as Morningside Gardens.[21]
Senior's donations led to the formation of the University of Chicago in ; the Central Philippine University in the Philippines (The first Baptist university and second American university in Asia); and the Chicago School of Economics.[22] This was one instance of a long family and Rockefeller Foundation tradition of financially supporting Ivy League and other major colleges and universities over the generations—seventy-five in total.
These include:
Senior (and Junior) also created
Rockefeller University in
General Education Board in , which later () evolved into the International Education Board
Rockefeller Sanitary Commission in
Bureau of Social Hygiene in (Junior)

In the s, the International Education Board granted important fellowships to pathbreakers in modern mathematics, such as Stefan Banach, Bartel Leendert van der Waerden, and André Weil, which was a formative part of the gradual shift of world mathematics to the US over this period.
To help promote cooperation between physics and mathematics Rockefeller funds also supported the erection of the new Mathematical Institute at the University of Göttingen between and
The rise of probability and mathematical statistics owes much to the creation of the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, partly by the Rockefellers' finances, also around this time.[24]
John D Jr.
established International House at Berkeley.
Junior was responsible for the creation and endowment of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which operates the restored historical town at Williamsburg, Virginia, one of the most extensive historic restorations ever undertaken.

Legacy
A trademark of the dynasty over its plus years has been the remarkable unity it has maintained, despite major divisions that developed in the late s, and unlike other wealthy families such as the Du Ponts and the Mellons.
A primary reason has been the lifelong efforts of "Junior" to not only cleanse the name from the disgrace stemming from the ruthless practices of Standard Oil but his tireless efforts to forge family unity even as he allowed his five sons to operate independently. This was partly achieved by regular brothers and family meetings, but it was also because of the high value placed on family unity by first Nelson and John III, and later especially with David.[30]
Regarding achievements, in , on the th anniversary of the founding of Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy, the Carnegie Corporation, which has had a long association with the family and its institutions, released a public statement on the influence of the family on not just philanthropy but encompassing a much wider field.
Summing up a predominant view among the international philanthropic world, albeit one poorly grasped by the public, one sentence of this statement read: "The contributions of the Rockefeller family are staggering in their extraordinary range and in the scope of their contribution to humankind."[31]
John D. Rockefeller gave away US$ million over his lifetime (in dollar terms of that time), and became the greatest lay benefactor of medicine in history.[32] His son, Junior, also gave away over $ million over his lifetime, bringing the total philanthropy of just two generations of the family to over $1 billion from to [33] Added to this, The New York Times declared in a report in November that David Rockefeller's total charitable benefactions amount to about $ million over his lifetime.[34]
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.
Figures through Standard Oil alone have included Henry Flagler and Henry H. Rogers. Contemporary figures include Henry Kissinger, Richard Parsons (chairman and CEO of Time Warner), C. Fred Bergsten, Peter G. Peterson (Senior Chairman of the Blackstone Group), and Paul Volcker.
In , 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 most important buildings and places.
David accepted the award on the family's behalf.[35] The ceremony coincided with an exhibition on the family's contributions to the built environment, including John Sr.'s preservation efforts for the Hudson River Palisades, the restoration of Williamsburg, Virginia, construction of Rockefeller Center, and Governor Nelson's efforts to construct low- and middle-income housing in New York state.[36]

He also funded the excavations at Luxor in Egypt, as well as establishing a Classical Studies School in Athens. In addition, he provided the funding for the construction of the Palestine Archaeological Museum in East Jerusalem - the Rockefeller Museum.[38]
Conservation
Beginning with John D.
Rockefeller Sr., the family has been a major force in land conservation.[39] Over the generations, it has created more than 20 national parks and open spaces, including the Cloisters, Acadia National Park, Forest Hill Park, the Nature Conservancy, the Rockefeller Forest in California's Humboldt Redwoods State Park (the largest stand of old-growth redwoods), and Grand Teton National Park, among 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 November , by the National Audubon Society, 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, stated: "Cumulatively, no other family in America has made the contribution to conservation that the Rockefeller family has made".[39]
In fifth-generation descendants of John Sr. criticized ExxonMobil, one of the successors to his company Standard Oil, for their record on climate change.
The Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Rockefeller Family Fund both backed reports suggesting that ExxonMobil knew more 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, daughter of former Senator Jay Rockefeller, said, "Because the source of the family wealth is fossil fuels, we feel an enormous moral responsibility for our children, for everyone -- to move forward."[40] The Rockefeller Brothers Fund announced it was divesting from fossil fuels in September , the Rockefeller Family Fund announced plans to divest in March , and the Rockefeller Foundation pledged to dump their fossil fuel holdings in December [41][42][43] With a $5 billion endowment, the Rockefeller Foundation was "the largest US foundation to embrace the rapidly growing divestment movement." CNN writer Matt Egan noted, "This divestment is especially symbolic because the Rockefeller Foundation was founded by oil money."[43] In May Rockefeller descendants Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case announced a ten-year funding initiative, the Equation Campaign, to fight new fossil fuel development.[44]
