5.0 out of 5 stars Book as described
Fascinating book! Rather than using measures of inflation to compare the most wealthy US industrialists, it uses a different metric: percentage of GDPat the time. This is a more sensible way to judge the most wealthy in US history.
5.0 out of 5 stars I read this every year!
This is one of my favorite books and I read it every year. The book ranks the top 100 wealthiest people in U.S. history by wealth/GNP. It is not a perfect system, but it is the best one and it gives a good idea of how wealthy people were for their time.Each person has a few pages describing their business accomplishments and a few other interesting facts. I wish it was more comprehensive, but the book would be 1000's of pages long in that case.I sincerely hope the authors do an updated version of this book. I would buy multiple copies the first day it came out.There is no better book to give you a glipse into the lives and fortunes of America's wealthiest.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!
I loved this book. Not only is it jam packed with information, but so easy to read because each overview is short and to the point. I will keep this in my study to read again and again. It's great history, but also inspirational for those in business today.
3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars
Bought for my daughters project. Each person has aprox. 3 pages of history on them.
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and informative
This is a very interesting and informative book, and I have really enjoyed it. It was written 21 years ago, and it would be great to have it updated. Also, I would like to see each person's wealth shown in current monetary amounts.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Has Great Information on Wealthiest People
This book helped my husband do research on the world's wealthiest people.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good...missing an important person "upstream"
This is a nice take at trying to quantify the actual wealth in "today's" terms. I do find a key "upstream" person missing. While Edward Stephen Harkness is in the list at 47, the real wealth of that family was with Stephen V. Harkness, the patriarch. He was the initial investor with JD Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, Henry M. Flagler (his mother's first husbands son by his first wife) and Samuel Andrews when they formed what would become Standard Oil.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book
This book is an excellent reference for those involved in wealth management or research in wealth or related areas. It is easy to read and provides a starting point for further study.
