The wealthiest American of all time, real-life Monopoly Man.

Follow me down the rabbit hole about John D. Rockefeller.

The Hello, friends, and welcome back to the rabbit hole.

I'm your host, Danny.

And today and next week and the week after probably, we're talking about the Rockefellers and believe me you want to hear all

of it I promise so first things first thank you Christian for requesting this I I knew it was big

I just didn't realize just how big it is so today we're going to go over the history of John D. Rockefeller, and then we're going to

do the history of basically the rest of the family in a second episode, and then the conspiracies

in the third episode. I thought that maybe just the history of John D. Rockefeller would be fine. No, you really, you really have to

understand all the family dynamics, how they strategically planned marriages, um, the,

even like the different jobs and different things that they did throughout their lives in order

to understand all the conspiracies. There's just no way you can get

everything without understanding everything. And you guys are pretty good at reading between the lines.

So even as I'm going through the history, you're going to hear the conspiracies already in your brain

before I actually lay them out for you. So this one's going to, it's going to be crazy. So let's jump in.

So John Davidson Rockefeller was born on July 8th, 1839 in Richford, New York. So he was the second

of six kids born to William A. Rockefeller Sr. and Eliza Davison. They had, like I said, six kids. The kids were

Lucy, then John, then William Jr. and Mary. And they had twins, Franklin and Francis.

William Sr. was a con man, which really shaped the children and like how they would go

about their life in the future. He identified himself as a botanic physician and he would sell

these like elixirs, so basically like snake oil. And he would also loan money to farmers specifically farmers that he knew

couldn't afford to pay back the loans and he would give them these loans of like 12% interest
