The young boy began to earn a living by doing small chores until he got a job as a bookkeeper at a firm in Ohio. An unsatisfactory pay led him to quit his job to go into business for himself. This led him to embark on a stellar career as an entrepreneur which made him the richest person to have ever lived. This is the story of John D. Rockefeller.
