The Early Life of Mike Bloomberg
Bloomberg was born in 1942 in Medford, which is a neighborhood of Boston Massachusetts. Bloomberg rose to prominence in the business world when he received his MBA from Harvard Business school. In 1966, he was hired to work for a Wall Street firm, Salmon Brothers, in which he quickly rose up when he moved to New York City. When Salmon Brothers shut down in 1981, he decided to start Bloomberg L.P, which is an information technology company that would bring transparency and efficiency to the buying and selling of financial secrets.
