A few pictures of the famous financiers who have been metnioned lately:
John D. Rockefeller, who was probably the richest man in the world for most of his life after founding Standard Oil Company, which was later split into several major oil companies, including Exxon and Mobil. He lived into his 90s, and led an amazing life in terms of his public profile and image.
J.P. Morgan, who was the unquestioned leader of Wall Street during his heyday. He put together the consortium that became US Steel, the first billion-dollar corporation in the world. His wealth did not match his power, however, as he was dwarfed by contemporaries such as John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie when it came to fortunes. He was very conscious of his very prominent nose, reputedly broken at least twice, and pock-marked, and disliked having his photograph taken. Nearly all photographs used what remedial measures they could to hide the pock-marking.
Like I said -- not a fan of having his picture taken:
