alexander hamilton
his initial success in business and the source of his first fortune was international shipping and merchant activities. he sent his cargo sailing ships, crews and captains around the world, trading goods and amassing a fortune. he deposited his growing wealth in the first bank of the united states, a semi-private/public financial institution, chartered by congress, with deposits and an official relationship with the united states department of the treasury and its domineering first secretary of the treasury, the newly appointed alexander hamilton, under the administration of the first president george washington. the new first bank of the u.s. had been recently established on behalf of private financiers, businessmen and the new central u.s. government in the temporary national capital of philadelphia. when the first bank of the u.s. lost its charter two decades later in 1811, girard bought the bank's landmark greek revival-styled building, left his deposited money and accounts there, and reopened as a new financial institution named the "bank of stephen girard." this made him america's first private banker. he then made his second fortune in banking. stephen girard used his position as banker to raise the $16 million required for the fledgling u.s. government to fight the war of 1812 against the kingdom of great britain, after war was declared by the congress at the request of fourth president james madison in june. by the time of his death, his fortune totaled approximately $7.5 million.
