WILBUR ROSS
THE BANK EATER
What is worrisome about that is the U.S. standard of living. I think it is very difficult to envision our standard of living being preserved if we are in an economy where all people do is flip hamburgers, wait on people in stores and sue each other. It’s not much of a basis for an economy.” – Wilbur Ross

HIS LIFE
The son of a lawyer and schoolteacher, Wilbur Louis Ross grew up in a well to do New Jersey family and attended Yale, his father’s alma mater. Wilbur Ross Sr. later became a judge. At Yale, he worked extensively for the Yale literary magazine, and once considered being a writer. After finding writing not his axe to grind, he turned his attention to finance, earning his Bachelors from Yale, and attending Havard School of Finance and Business Studies, and earning his M.B.A with distinction. With such high credentials, it was no surprise that he quickly was snapped up by the banking giant ROTHSCHILD in the mid 1970s. Here he spent nearly a quarter of a century establishing himself as one of the most prominent bankruptcy advisers in the country. Here his entrepreneur spirit took over and itching to jump into the fray himself, he went beyond traditional advisory assignment and launched a 200$ million distressed equity fund for Rothschild. Somehow, there was a growing friction between the firm’s advertising clients and investing the firm’s money. Restricted to do want he did not want to, the sixty-year-old veteran went solo, launching W.L.Ross & Co. with $440 million in funds and a small staff he recruited from Rothschild.
