After finishing his studies at Harvard Business School with a Master of Business Administration degree, Michael Bloomberg began his professional career as a general partner for Salomon Brothers. After leaving the company, he designed his own data services company called Innovative Market Systems, which he eventually renamed Bloomberg LP.

Thanks to the fortune he has accumulated through the years, Michael now has a net worth of $54.9 billion, making him the 16th-richest person in 2020, according to Forbes.

To make him even more interesting, Michael is also a private pilot and owns six airplanes, three of which are Dassault Falcon 900s.
