About this ebook
There was a time when the world trembled at a single name — John D. Rockefeller.
The first billionaire in history, he rose from a childhood of poverty to command an empire that reshaped the planet. But behind his calm faith and disciplined precision lay a paradox: a man who believed that order was divine, and that chaos — in business or in life — was a sin.
