Bloomberg’s family relocated frequently during his childhood before finally settling down in the Medford suburb of Boston. He graduated in engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 1964, and then pursued further studies at Harvard Business School, earning a Master of Business Administration degree in 1966.
Throughout the late 1960s, Bloomberg made steady progress in the finance world and later became associated with the investment bank Salomon Brothers in 1973, where he held the role of manager of systems development, encompassing equity trading. However, he was made redundant when the bank was acquired by the Phibro Corporation in 1981. Subsequently, Bloomberg chose to launch his own company, Innovative Market Systems. By 1982, it had acquired its initial clientele, including a division of Bank of America known as Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. Merrill Lynch also made its first contribution to the company shortly thereafter by investing approximately $30 million. This provided a solid foundation for Bloomberg’s net worth, and his company significantly augmented his wealth.
The company ultimately evolved into Bloomberg LP, expanding over the years and establishing over 310,000 terminals globally. After establishing himself as a successful businessman, Bloomberg ventured into politics, winning his initial mayoral election for New York City in 2002. Despite transitioning from being a lifelong Democrat to running on a Republican ticket – later declaring himself ‘independent’ – he was elected. He went on to be re-elected twice as Mayor in 2005 and 2009, and was widely regarded as one of the most capable Mayors in the city’s history.
Upon concluding his mayoral term in 2013, Bloomberg dedicated himself entirely to philanthropic efforts. In 2014, he decided to return to his company, which had flourished during his time as Mayor. His proficiency in both business and politics has been acknowledged with a Gold Medal from The Hundred Year Association of New York, an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Harvard University, and most notably, the honorary title of Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II, a rare honor for a non-British or Commonwealth individual.
Bloomberg devotes a substantial amount of his time and wealth to various charitable causes. He established the Bloomberg’s Philanthropies Foundation, aiding organizations such as the World Health Organization, World Lung Foundation, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among others. In 2009, he donated approximately $254 million to numerous non-profit organizations.
In his personal life, Michael Bloomberg was married to Briton Susan Brown from 1975-93, and they have two daughters. Since 2000, Bloomberg has been in a relationship with Diana Taylor, a New York banking superintendent.

1 | [on the NRA’s response to the Newtown, Conn. school massacre] Instead of offering solutions to a problem they have helped create, they offered a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America, where everyone is armed and no place is safe. |
2 | The NRA is only powerful if you and I let them be powerful. I want the Congress to have to stand up and say, ‘I’m with the NRA and support killing our children’ or ‘No’. And if the answer is, ‘I’m going to take on that fight’, I’ve got their back. |
3 | [on the passing of Elaine Kaufman] Elaine was a New York institution. |
