How did the Rockefeller family last for a hundred years?

There's an old saying in China that "you can't be rich for three generations", but the Rockefeller family in the United States is really rich for six generations.

Let's talk briefly about this family first. This family is a super-rich family in American history. Family business is spread all over the United States, and it can be found in energy, banking, real estate, education, charity and other fields. It is no exaggeration to say that this family really influenced the development of the United States.

As for why we can break the iron law of "being rich for three generations", I think there are the following points.

Make great efforts to govern. Every generation of Rockefeller family leaders can make efforts to make new breakthroughs in family development. John rockefeller, the first-generation founder, only founded the monopoly Mobil Oil Company, but the second-generation and third-generation heirs expanded into charity, education, securities finance and other fields. Instead of sitting on empty seats, they are getting bigger and bigger.

Social responsibility. After the success of the Rockefeller family, it is not just for the sake of wealth, but to be a good citizen, let wealth serve the society, set up charitable funds everywhere, build schools and hospitals, and invest in the public sphere. It is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the family has a good reputation. Everyone praises you and supports you, so you can live a long life.

Seize the opportunity. The first generation of old Rockefeller seized the energy age, established oil companies and launched monopoly organizations; Lawrence Rockefeller, the head of the third generation, seized the financial revolution and became the "father of venture capital", and used the favorable environment of the two world wars to accumulate wealth and expand family power. Later, catching up with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and globalization today is more conducive to expansion.

Political and economic dignitaries. The Rockefeller family has long been closely linked with American political forces and other families, and even produced an outstanding politician-david rockefeller. These networks have played a very important role in the stable development of families.

Born in sorrow and died in happiness, a family and a country must have the spirit of hard struggle. Wealth can't last long, but spirit can.

Finally, the answer is not easy, welcome to like it.
