John D. Rockefeller believed wealth was a divine assignment, a gift entrusted to him, not for display, but for disciplined expansion and the service of others.
He treated business like a calling, not a competition.
With that conviction, he built Standard Oil into the most dominant industrial organization of its era.
He tamed the chaos of the early oil market, standardized quality, created modern refining, crushed volatility, perfected vertical integration, and drove prices down so far that kerosene became affordable for ordinary families around the world.
