The robber baron you've mentioned would be Jay Gould (1836 - 1892). He is a historic figure that has been hated by many. He has also been vilified due to his role in the railroad industry and his role as a prospector at the end of the 19th century US. Furthermore, he was recently retrospectively voted as one of the worst CEOs of all time.
