Answer: Like many of history’s literary greats, Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens used several pen names during his illustrious writing career. He experimented with various aliases, such as Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, Sergeant Fathom, and "Josh," before ultimately embracing the maritime term "Mark Twain" which signifies a depth of precisely two fathoms or 12 feet. This term held significance as a call used by riverboat pilots to indicate safe navigational waters, and it is widely believed that Twain chose this pseudonym as a nod to his experiences working on the Mississippi River.

The world's first billionaire was oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. He became the world's first billionaire in 1916. He was a co-founder of the Standard Oil Company, which dominated the oil industry. Rockefeller's wealth soared and he became the world's richest man and the first American worth more than a billion dollars, controlling 90% of all oil in the United States at his peak. His fortune upon his death in 1937 stood at $1.4 billion, which at the time, accounted for more than 1.5% of the national economy. Adjusted for inflation, Rockefeller was worth an estimated $410 billion in today's dollars.
