Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794 – 1877) was born on Staten Island, New York in 1794. At the age of 16 he bought a boat and earned his living by ferrying passengers and goods.

By the time he was forty he had become the owner of several steamers and during the Crimean War he established a line of steamships to Le Havre.

At the age of seventy he embarked on a career in railroad financing, gradually gaining a controlling interest in a large number of roads.

On his death Cornelius Vanderbilt left approximately £25,000,000.
