Julius Caesar invented the Leap Year calendar to correct the time difference that 365 days was causing.

It is undoubtedly true that Caesar was a ruler loved by the people. During his dictatorship he made many strides to reduce debt, unemployment, and give the Roman people better lives. To start, Caesar proposed new laws that redistributed lands to the poor and limited the amount of money that one single person could have on them at one time.
Furthermore, Caesar offered jobs to the poor to work in Rome’s overseas colonies and even granted citizenship to foreigners living in the Republic. Caesar also manifested various public work projects to benefit the Roman populus. To start, Caesar constructed a new harbour, canal, Senate house, and the Forum Julium, which you can still walk through today!
Even after his death, Caesar kept on giving! In his will he allocated his villa, gardens, and art gallery be made open to the general public. Not only that, he also left his riches to be divided between the people of Rome, giving a portion of his own money to each citizen.
It is without question that Caesar made an effort to show the Roman people he cared. With the admiration of all of Rome, Julius Caesar was able to climb up in the ranks and become one of the most powerful leaders of all time.

Henry Flagler (1830-1913)
He made his fortune with Standard Oil and poured a ton of money into Florida building hotels and a railroad. Lately I've taken an interest in the massive railroad project he built in the Florida Keys and have been reading a bit about it. It's truly remarkable.
Starting in 1905, he financed (personally) and built a 120 mile stretch of railroad over the ocean and to the end of the Keys. It took 7 years and 50 million dollars. I can't imaging the logistics of such a project in 1905. That stretch of railroad got wiped out by a massive hurricane and ended up becoming the highway that goes through the keys today.
