Rockefeller has passed into popular culture as the embodiment of wealth. "Oysters Rockefeller" (colored green by the spinach) was named for him because the dish was so rich. The Rockefeller family was a major benefactor in funding the reconstruction effort in France after World War I. As a consequence, Rockefeller (along with the Rothschilds) was considered in that country the canonical billionaire—synonymous with extreme wealth. "John D. Rockerduck" is a Walt Disney character popular in Europe who is a foil to other well-known rich duck, the avaricious "Scrooge McDuck".
