Rockefeller Wealth & Power

October 28, 2024


Enjoy this week's "Investor Insights," a weekly newsletter that highlights the financial news you need and provides tips and tricks for making better investment decisions. 

  • John D. Rockefeller’s 1913 net worth of $900 million would be $29 billion today, not enough for the top 50 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. However, as a share of US GDP, it would be over $600 billion, more than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos combined. 1


  • Housing costs have risen 50% faster than the CPI in the past decade due to a housing shortage. A 20% down payment on a median home now requires 83% of a typical buyer’s annual income, up from 65% eight years ago. 1


  • NVIDIA’s market cap is now larger than the total of five G7 countries (Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Italy). 2


  • A review of the earnings calls of 7,000 publicly traded companies shows that mentions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) increased six-fold after ChatGPT’s release, from 0.35 sentences per call in Q4 2022 to 2.17 in Q3 2023. 3
