In the past, the commercial titans and industrial giants of the United States were wealthier than even the greatest technological visionaries and innovators of the present day. The wealth and influence of America's most powerful individuals during the Gilded Age, which lasted for the majority of the latter part of the 19th century, from roughly 1870 to 1900, was significantly beyond what is visible today when measured in terms of inflation. People like John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie had fortunes that, by today's standards, would amount to tens of billions of dollars.
