Rockefeller – one of the five richest ever people in the world, who was the founder of Standard Oil Company – and Laura Spelman Rockefeller. He was raised in the Midtown district of New York City with his five siblings. He attended the experimental Lincoln School in Harlem, after which he entered Harvard University, from which he graduated with a BA degree in Science in 1936.
