Bernard Baruch
Bernard Baruch was a self-made Wall Street speculator who became one of the wealthiest men in America by his mid-30s before pivoting to public service as an adviser to six U.S. presidents. His autobiography is a fascinating window into early 20th century financial markets and political influence.
