Personality
What personality type is Cornelius Vanderbilt? Cornelius Vanderbilt is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sx/sp - in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, in Socionics.
He was most brutal (& perhaps the craziest) businessman in history Once his competitors (Charles Morgan and C. K. Garrison) broke some contract altogether and betrayed the status quo. Vanderbilt found out about this mutiny and got deeply hurt by this backstabbing act and wrote a letter to his competitors, "Gentlemen, you have undertaken to cheat me. I won’t sue you, for law is too slow. I’ll ruin you." A year later these men paid Vanderbilt $1 million for leaving the business he started (and operated at a loss) just to get revenge.
