John D. Rockefeller(of Standard Gas) was the very first National billionaire in 1916, and had approximately $1.5-billion when he retired. That may have now been worth 0 to 0 million by present day ideals. Based on Bundle, Rockefeller was the wealthiest guy in comparison with GDP, beyond Cornelius Vanderbilt(second), Astor(third), Bill Gates(fifth) Carnegie(6th) and Sam Walton. Bill Gates holdings were over 0 million in 1999, creating him the wealthiest guy on the planet in the time.
