Example: Rockefller ran Standard Oil with his brother. His son built the Rockefeller Center and expanded into real estate. His wife helped start famous colleges.

I'm fascinated by family dynasties. Families who work together, build businesses, stay close...but over many generations. Like the Kennedys, Pritzers, Tisch, Rockefellers. What are some good bios on families like these? Or books on the concept?

Joe Kennedy got rich through all types of schemes. He did so so his kids could go into gov. He had 8 kids. Many went into public service and they helped each other along the way.

One of the closest things today for Kennedys: the Kardashians! The Kennedy kids, when they were young, were in the tabloids when they traveled abroad. They were famous for their white teeth and blonde hair.

Read my account. I focus on family dynasties (at least some of the time). https://twitter.com/sovereignfamily/status/1069829527847620608?s=21 … Also ready Family Fortunes the book. It’s a dynasty building manual.
