It\u2019s becoming a superpower.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The SpaceX IPO resulted in one of the greatest wealth increases in history, turning Elon Musk&#8217;s estimated net worth of over $800 billion before the company went public into the world&#8217;s first-ever trillion-dollar-plus fortune.<\/p>\n<p>While the scale of Musk&#8217;s fortune is unprecedented by all measures, it also raises the question of how historic figures, largely considered America&#8217;s richest, such as the Gilded Age industrialists, compare with the richest people today.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say: Who are the richest Americans of all time?<\/p>\n<p>In many historical calculations of net worth, individual fortunes weren&#8217;t measured in isolation; instead, they were compared to the US GDP at the time.<\/p>\n<p>When the US economy was much smaller than it is today, the wealthiest families and individuals carried more weight in the economy than others during more prosperous times.<\/p>\n<p>One of the richest Americans of all time is widely considered to be Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller, whose wealth, at its peak in 1937, was equal to 1.5% of the country&#8217;s GDP. His estimated net worth would be around $512.7 billion today, when adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhomejournals.com\/?p=1433\">\u2018Big Short\u2019 investor Michael Burry says he\u2019s steering clear of SpaceX: \u2018No thank you\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s current wealth, however, has now far eclipsed that of Rockefeller&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>To identify some of the richest Americans of all time, we consulted Forbes&#8217; 2007 list of history&#8217;s wealthiest figures, based on estimates by economist Peter Bernstein<em>.<\/em> It calculated individuals&#8217; wealth at their peak and compared it to the country&#8217;s GDP at the time to convert it to 2006 dollars. This was then adjusted to today&#8217;s dollars using the US Bureau of Labor Statistics&#8217; inflation calculator.<\/p>\n<p>For living individuals, we cited Forbes&#8217; estimated net worths as of June 16, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>While estimates of historical wealth may not be perfect, they help paint a picture of the wealth enjoyed by some of America&#8217;s most notable business figures and put it in context with today&#8217;s billionaires.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 29 of the wealthiest Americans in history \u2014 and how modern-day tech magnates rank among them.<\/p>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<h2>Andrew W.
