At the top section on the second paragraph near the end it says," which was almost 3% of the US GDP of $39.1 billion that year."
I propose that GDP should have (Gross Domestic Product) put next to it and that GDP be made into a link explaining it.

Partly done: I've added the link but not the expansion of the abbreviation, as it interrupts the flow of the lead and it is unlikely that someone will understand what GDP means from the full name if they don't already.

Inflation since 1913 to today (March 2024) has accumulated to an over 3000% in devaluation of the dollar. Consequentially a $900 million peak wealth in 1913 would translate to the figure much larger than what is included in the article here.

Biased source
The author of the source "Myth of the Robber Barons" has a very explicit anti-regulatory bias in their work and it reflects in several of the chosen quotes, for example:
"The government subsidised the price of oil, causing it to increase from $.5 to $13.5", the reasoning of which is not obvious. I suggest these be neutralised somewhat to include less controversial reasonings.

"con artist"?? Seems extreme
The language used to describe William Rockefeller in the "early life" section seems slanted and inflammatory. Can a more neutral reporting be employed instead?

On the contrary, William did con others, and we shouldn't sugarcoat that. There's nothing wrong let alone "extreme" with using "con artist" for him as it's quite accurate, not "slanted and inflammatory" at all.
