His father was not very successful.

Rockefeller made ‘Standard Oil’ that made lamp oil that didn’t explode randomly. When electricity fucked him up he figured out one of the byproducts of the lamp oil production was gasoline. He didn’t want to drill for oil just refine it. Him and Carnage competed for penis size after that. Carnage had a dam failure from a country clubs lake he was involved with so he decided to build shit like Carnage Hall.
