Working as a street peddler, he raised enough capital to open the first music store in New York, switching to fur trading in 1786. After a childhood friend was able to obtain a trading license for him for all of the ports of the East India Company, the American Fur Company grew to be one of the most powerful monopolies of its time, enabling Astor to earn his first million dollars by 1810. Astor built a series of splendid hotels, became a shipping Magnate and real estate investor. After his death on March 29, 1848, the man who had become a millionaire 25 times over left $400,000 for a library to be built in his name. This library eventually became what is now the world famous New York Public Library.

The Question There are some sources that claim that Henry Ford was the first billionaire in the world. However, John D. Rockefeller and perhaps Andrew Carnigie may lay claim to this title. And there is a nebulous element in what exactly is meant by billionaire in terms of the buying power of the dollar at various points in US economic history;i.e. Carnigie's millions could have had more real buying power in the late 19th century than Ford's billion had in the early 1940's. What would be a good "economic yardstick" to gauge the relative personal worth of the individuals, like Ford whom played significant roles in the economic history of the US? Thanks! The Answer With regard to the suggestion that wealth be assessed in relationship to Gross Domestic Product: AMERICA'S RICHEST LIST A ranking of the 40 richest Americans of all time, compiled by American Heritage magazine, published by Forbes Inc. The conversions were made using a formula comparing the original value of wealth to the size of the U.S. economy at the time. For the full listing, see below. Sincerely

Before American toymaking industries were firmly established in the second half of the nineteenth century, commercially made children's toys (1) were imported from England, France, and Germany, with Germany the acknowledged leader. (2) The growth of the German toymaking industry its production and export patterns on the Continent, and its rising dominance in the world market from its beginnings in the sixteenth century until World War I have been well documented. (3) However, there are few documents available about German toys in the United States before 1850. An exception is the Lewis Page letter book of 1829 to l833. (4) The only known record of an American toy importer, it provides a rich foundation for the study of the importation of German toys at that time. This New York City merchant's correspondence with his major European supplier, the Lindner firm of Sonneberg in Thuringia; the occasional orders he placed with other suppliers; and letters to his delinquent wholesale customers reveal business practices that place the industry in the mainstream of transcontinental trade. His references to other New York stores indicate that selling toys had developed into a competitive business in the city by the 1830s. A comparison of his orders to the illustrations in the first toy catalogue issued by the Lindner firm in 1831 (5) offers a rare visual record of many of the German toys imported into the United States before the Civil War.
