Robert Habersham Coleman (March 27, 1856 – March 15, 1930) was an iron industrialist, railroad president, and owner of extensive farmland in Pennsylvania.[1][2] He was nationally known as the "Iron King of Pennsylvania."[1] In 1879, he was worth about $7 million (equivalent to $228,900,000 in today's money).[3] By 1889, he had turned that into $30 million (equivalent to $1,017,333,333 in today's money).[3][4] At the time, he had more money than his contemporaries A. J. Drexel, Marshall Field, J. P. Morgan or Frederick William Vanderbilt.[4]
He was "rich, progressive, generous, honest—he was utterly crushed by the financial panic of 1893."[5]
