20 Weird Billionaires You Have To See To Believe

An Oldie But A Goodie: David Rockefeller Sr.

David Rockefeller Sr. made his billions through oil and banking but encountered a series of tragic events. He lost his son on his birthday in a plane crash, in 2014. Three years later, he passed away himself. But Rockefeller is one of the biggest names out there.

“I have never found it a hindrance,” he once said. “Obviously, there are times when I’m aware that I’m treated differently. There’s no question that having financial resources, which, thanks to my parents, I learned to use with some restraint and discretion, is a big advantage.” Sounds like a mental battle if anything.
