Cornelius Vanderbilt
Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794–1877) was an American industrialist who built fortunes first in steamship lines, then in railroads, becoming one of the wealthiest Americans of the nineteenth century.
His name became synonymous with Gilded Age capitalism and dynastic wealth.
Vanderbilt University bears his name, as does New York's Grand Central Terminal, which his railroad enterprises built.
