America's 60 Families are listed in ranked order (according to 1924 tax records) with their primary sources of wealth.

Dynasties listed below were included in America's 60 Families, Ferdinand Lundberg's 1937 expose on the super-rich. Lundberg used tax records to uncover the often impenetrable financial and political machinations of the 60 Families, effectively publishing a directory of names and occupations of family scions as well as estimates of their fortunes.

"The United States is owned and dominated today by a hierarchy of its sixty richest families, buttressed by no more than ninety families of lesser wealth... These families are the living center of the modern industrial oligarchy which dominates the United States, functioning discreetly under a de jure democratic form of government behind which a de facto government, absolutist and plutocratic in its lineaments, has gradually taken form since the Civil War. This de facto government is actually the government of the United States -- informal, invisible, shadowy. It is the government of money in a dollar democracy.

 

Why the Standard Oil Fortune Still Matters Ferdinand Lundberg (1902-1995) was an American journalist who wrote eleven books. The best known of these are America’s 60 Families and The Rich and the Super-Rich, published in 1937 and 1968.

The full extent of the Rockefeller fortune, he says, is unknown. Like other wealthy families, the Rockefellers had managed to insure “there are on the public record positively no authentic, fully certified, standardly audited figures and inventory on the dimensions of the fortune.” This might seem insignificant, or even a triumph of the right of privacy against government spying. But the Rockefellers weren’t just some middle class family minding their own business and asking others to mind theirs. Their wealth (even the investments they donated to foundations but retained voting rights on) was all hard at work earning them more wealth. Seems logical the government would want an inventory of those assets, if only to keep track of the tax bill. The chapter devotes a lot of time to the many attempts that have been made to assess the Rockefeller family’s net worth. The figure Lundberg arrives at is $4.741 billion. This is a lot of money in 1975 dollars, but Lundberg says the real number “had to be higher owing to items not included” in the count. The extent of the Rockefellers’ wealth is important, not out of envy or an objection to the way it was obtained (as many are still claiming or implying even today) but because it suggests how much influence even third, fourth, and fifth generation Rockefellers have on the American economy.

The Rockefeller family is still living under the protecting umbrellas of trust funds and foundations that perpetuated the caste system.

Winthrop W. Aldrich was the uncle of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. 

1913 the House of Morgan and the House of Rockefeller formed close alliances with the Dukes and the Mellons. Lundberg arrives at is $4.741 billion. This is a lot of money in 1975 dollars, but Lundberg says the real number “had to be higher owing to items not included” in the count. The extent of the Rockefellers’ wealth is important, not out of envy or an objection to the way it was obtained (as  many are still claiming or implying even today) but because it suggests how much influence even third, fourth, and fifth generation Rockefellers have on the American economy.

JEROME FAMILY - SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL

American millionaire Leonard Jerome, sportsman and financier/speculator, had a British wife. Her father, Leonard Jerome, had been an investor in railroad stock. But when the stock fell, he lost everything and declared himself bankrupt.  He didn't stay down for long and soon developed a peculiarly topical talent: selling short (that is, selling borrowed stock in the hope he could buy it back when it had gone down in value).  It was as uncertain a trade then as it is now, and Jerome was not above manipulating prices by summoning newspaper editors to lunch and spreading some self-serving rumour. And he did well. Before long, he was one of the nouveau riche millionaires of the so-called Flash Age. Winters were spent in Manhattan, summers in fashionable Newport, Connecticut, with billionaire neighbours such as the Vandebilts. Leonard bought himself a big yacht and built a private theatre.

Three daughters were born at Cobble Hill, in Brooklyn, New York. Jennie Jerome, was  the second of three daughters born in 1854, and became the fabulously wealthy socialite who bought her crown / title for cash by when she maried Lord Randolph Chuchill. They met on the Isle of Wight, that the 19-year-old Jennie met Lord Randolph Churchill, the 23-year-old second son of the Duke of Marlborough, at a party.  The Marlboroughs were as disreputable in England as the Jeromes were in the US Charming and arrogant, they spent lavishly, demonstrating, as Prime Minister William Gladstone noted, neither morals nor principles.  Jennie and Randolph, who would soon become Winston Churchill's parents, fell in love at first sight. But they had to endure strong opposition from Randolph's family until a settlement of $250,000 by Jennie's father finally won the Marlboroughs over.

Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; Lord Randolph died, apparently of syphilis.

She is the mother of Sir Winston Churchill's Earls, counts, even a future King - she had more than 200 lovers, some of them younger than her son. As a new documentary reveals, it's no wonder high society wits called Winston Churchill's wayward mother Lady Randy. She is said to have had more than 200 lovers, some of them younger than her own son. Strikingly beautiful, with amber eyes, dark-brown hair, full breasts and an irrepressible lust for life, Jennie Jerome was irresistible to men.  Earls, lords, counts, even the randy old Prince Of Wales, the future Edward VII, lusted after her. And she willingly complied.  When Edward was crowned in 1902, she sat in a special pew in Westminster Abbey, which society wits dubbed 'the loose box' on account of its rather promiscuous occupants. She shared it with half a dozen other royal mistresses, including Alice Keppel and Lillie Langtry.

Descended quite possibly from an American Indian who had raped a white settler, she was born into a notoriously lascivious family, conceived in Italy and named after a popular singer who was probably one of her father's mistresses. She was possibly pregnant with Winston when she walked up the aisle to marry his father, Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill.

WINSTON CHURCHILL IMPERIAL ATROCITIES - ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH

The young Churchill charged through imperial atrocities, defending each in turn. When concentration camps were built in South Africa, for white Boers, he said they produced "the minimum of suffering". The death toll was almost 28,000, and when at least 115,000 black Africans were likewise swept into British camps, where 14,000 died, he wrote only of his "irritation that Kaffirs should be allowed to fire on white men". Later, he boasted of his experiences there: "That was before war degenerated. It was great fun galloping about."

Then as an MP he demanded a rolling programme of more conquests, based on his belief that "the Aryan stock is bound to triumph". There seems to have been an odd cognitive dissonance in his view of the "natives". In some of his private correspondence, he appears to really believe they are helpless children who will "willingly, naturally, gratefully include themselves within the golden circle of an ancient crown".

But when they defied this script, Churchill demanded they be crushed with extreme force. As Colonial Secretary in the 1920s, he unleashed the notorious Black and Tan thugs on Ireland's Catholic civilians, and when the Kurds rebelled against British rule, he said: "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes...[It] would spread a lively terror."

Of course, it's easy to dismiss any criticism of these actions as anachronistic. Didn't everybody think that way then? One of the most striking findings of Toye's research is that they really didn't: even at the time, Churchill was seen as at the most brutal and brutish end of the British imperialist spectrum. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was warned by Cabinet colleagues not to appoint him because his views were so antedeluvian. Even his startled doctor, Lord Moran, said of other races: "Winston thinks only of the colour of their skin."

Many of his colleagues thought Churchill was driven by a deep loathing of democracy for anyone other than the British and a tiny clique of supposedly superior races. This was clearest in his attitude to India. When Mahatma Gandhi launched his campaign of peaceful resistance, Churchill raged that he "ought to be lain bound hand and foot at the gates of Delhi, and then trampled on by an enormous elephant with the new Viceroy seated on its back." As the resistance swelled, he announced: "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion." This hatred killed. To give just one, major, example, in 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, caused – as the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has proved – by the imperial policies of the British. Up to 3 million people starved to death while British officials begged Churchill to direct food supplies to the region. He bluntly refused. He raged that it was their own fault for "breeding like rabbits". At other times, he said the plague was "merrily" culling the population.

Skeletal, half-dead people were streaming into the cities and dying on the streets, but Churchill – to the astonishment of his staff – had only jeers for them. This rather undermines the claims that Churchill's imperialism was motivated only by an altruistic desire to elevate the putatively lower races.

Hussein Onyango Obama is unusual among Churchill's victims only in one respect: his story has been rescued from the slipstream of history, because his grandson ended up as President of the US. Churchill believed that Kenya's fertile highlands should be the preserve of the white settlers, and approved the clearing out of the local "blackamoors". He saw the local Kikuyu as "brutish children". When they rebelled under Churchill's post-war premiership, some 150,000 of them were forced at gunpoint into detention camps – later dubbed "Britain's gulag" by Pulitzer-prize winning historian, Professor Caroline Elkins. She studied the detention camps for five years for her remarkable book Britain's Gulag: The Brutal End of Empire in Kenya, explains the tactics adopted under Churchill to crush the local drive for independence. "Electric shock was widely used, as well as cigarettes and fire," she writes. "The screening teams whipped, shot, burned, and mutilated Mau Mau suspects." Hussein Onyango Obama never truly recovered from the torture he endured.

Many of the wounds Churchill inflicted have still not healed: you can find them on the front pages any day of the week. He is the man who invented Iraq, locking together three conflicting peoples behind arbitrary borders that have been bleeding ever since. He is the Colonial Secretary who offered the Over-Promised Land to both the Jews and the Arabs – although he seems to have privately felt racist contempt for both. He jeered at the Palestinians as "barbaric hoards who ate little but camel dung," while he was appalled that the Israelis "take it for granted that the local population will be cleared out to suit their convenience".

Winston Churchill WITH Madam Chiang Kai-shek, and Franklin D Roosevelt all Opium Drug Smuggling Pirates.

Madam Chiang Kai-shek (May-Ling Soong) married to  oppressive and corrupt ruler Chaing Kai-shek is photographed with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt during the period in which she swept American high society and bilked the U.S. Government of a few million 1940s dollars in support of her husband, the Generalissimo. In 1995, the 97-year-old delivered a speech to Congress, and at the age of 103 she presented her artwork in a New York gallery opening. Upon her death from complications from pneumonia in 2003, Madame Chiang had the unusual distinction of having been alive in three different centuries. Born in China during the Qing Dynasty, she lived long enough to see George W. Bush's America. Madame Chiang in practice expressed little sympathy for China's poor. When Eleanor Roosevelt asked her how she would deal with striking Chinese coal miners, the Generalissimo's wife cooly drew her finger across her throat.

Time Publications promoted Chiang Kai-shek through the American press, and Madam Chiang Kai-shek was billed, in America and in England, as the darling of the Chinese people of the early 20th Century.
Henry Luce, himself born in China as the son of missionaries, would spend his first five years on earth in China before being brought to the United States to grow up and become the founder of Time Publications. Henry Luce's earliest memories would be those of a white boy in “celestial” China, and throughout the remainder of his life his views about China would reflect that boyish vision. It is said today that his perspective on Chiang Kai-shek's China were influenced irreparably by his boyhood years in China. Such a seemingly benign oddity of history would grow to influence finally the decisions of President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, as we shall see.
