John D. Rockefeller's Money: Taint Mine, Taint Yours! - A Humorous Take on the Staggering Wealth of the American Oil Magnate (1904) This delightfully humorous postcard pokes fun at the immense wealth of John D. Rockefeller, the American business magnate and philanthropist who became the world's first billionaire. With a net worth equivalent to over $140 billion in today's currency, Rockefeller controlled an astonishing 90% of all oil in the United States at the height of his empire. The postcard, dated 1904, features a caricature of Rockefeller holding a gold coin with the caption "Taint Mine, Taint Yours!" written below. The phrase "taint" was a colloquial term for being tainted or spoiled, often used in a humorous or lighthearted way. The image playfully suggests that even Rockefeller's money, symbolized by the gold coin, was not immune to the natural process of becoming tainted or spoiled. This humorous take on the wealth of the richest man in the world at the time adds a touch of levity to the awe-inspiring figure of John D. Rockefeller and his unprecedented fortune. John D. Rockefeller's impact on American industry and philanthropy is undeniable, but this postcard offers a glimpse into the lighter side of his legacy. The image invites us to reflect on the absurdity of wealth and the human tendency to find humor in the extraordinary.
