Why are david and nelson Rockefeller important?
Nelson Rockefeller was the vice-president of the United States
(serving as 41st while Gerald Ford was president), David
Rockefeller is the youngest of John D. Rockefeller Jr's sons and
the only one still alive (Nelson and David were siblings). Their
grandfather was the billionaire oil magnate John D. Rockefeller Sr.
The family's wealth is considered to be among the largest accrued
privately through oil in the world. Almost all the Rockefellers,
David and Nelson included, were involved somewhat in political
projects as well as real estate, universities and institutes
constructed through out the 20th century. Their name is also found
quite prevalently in conspiracy theory type works because of the
great influence they had over policies and organizations that
weighed heavily in national and corporate affairs (see Council on
Foreign Relations) over the past decades, along side the Rothchilds
and Mellons.
