John Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) is the most notable financier and banker in history. Morgan amassed immense wealth through reorganizing and consolidating companies, an innovative business strategy of the day. Most notably, Morgan gained great power and influence over America's transportation, construction, and energy industries through owning a majority of the railroad, steel, oil and electric companies.

Morgan also saved the American financial system in 1907 with a tremendous bail out to the US Treasury Department.

Morgan was also a well known collector. He helped create and support the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
