Which rich bankers, railroad or oil bosses from 1880 to 1950 were Freemasons?

Research question: Which industrialists, bankers or railroad and oil magnates from roughly 1880 to 1950 were confirmed Freemasons, and how rich were they at their peak?

The records show that Henry Ford (1863–1947), founder of the Ford Motor Company, is listed as a Freemason ¹. The records show that Leland Stanford (1824–1893), who founded Stanford University, is also listed as a Freemason ². Neither source gives figures on their wealth, so their peak fortunes cannot be established from these facts ¹². The facts do not cover bankers or oil magnates, so the question is only partly answered. The newest fact is from the list itself, which carries no date, so its recency relative to October 2026 cannot be determined.
