I met a Rockefeller once. I was taking inventory plots on forest land, and he had a lot of it. His estate was some 20,000 acres, in Franklin County NY.

At the top of a hill he had a strange building, almost like a fire lookout but with high windows. I asked him what the building was for, and he says "Oh, we use that in the fall to come and watch the deer mate."

There were a great many deer on this huge estate, more than I saw anyplace else in New York. He kept it that way by keeping hunters out. The boundaries were cleared and during the hunting season he would have riders out patrolling them.

I heard later that this Rockefeller committed suicide with a shotgun. Maybe that's why I can't find him on the internet. I thought his given name was George. Could be mistaken.
