why morgan wasnt rich? he had the electricity and the steel. he made carnegie insanely rich.

J.P. Morgan looked far richer than he actually was.

Yes, it sounds silly, but it actually makes sense when you consider Rockefeller was the nation's first billionaire. JP Morgan was considered 'in his league,' but when it was found out that he had less than one-hundred millions to his name, it was silly to compare Morgan to the man with over a thousand millions.

Bankers are much fucking smarter about hiding their assets, unlike newmoney Nigger Rockerfeller trying to show off his spinning rims & shiet.

Morgan was worth about 50 billion(inflation adjusted). Not a lot compared to himself and Carnegie.

Carnegie was richer than Morgan even before the formation of U.S. Steel. The U.S. Steel deal made Carnegie wealthier than Rockefeller for some time but then Rockefeller overtook him again soon.

J.P. was the only trust fund baby among the big four(Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Vanderbilt)

Yup. Hence the bragging about power and wealth.
