Meera,
it is known as the "Guilded Age" (sometimes spelled "Gilded") and is a dutch word for "gold". It was an era of the Barons of Capitalism; ironic too because out of these Barons were all born within a 10 year time frame. Listed here is their rank on the list, (with their name and then year of birth) of the 10,000 wealthiest people as recorded historically that includes the like of Cleopatra, Alexander the Great among others.
01. John Rockefeller, 1839.
02. Andrew Carnegie, 1835.
28. Frederick Weyerhaeuser, 1834.
33. Jay Gould, 1836.
34. Marshall Field, 1834.
35. George Baker, 1840.

44. James G. Fair, 1831.

58. Oliver Payne, 1839.
62. George Pullman, 1831.
