The $10 Million Goodbye That Built an Empire
What would you do with a pink slip and $10 million? Most people would panic. Michael Bloomberg bought his wife a sable coat and started a revolution. In October 1981, after fifteen years of climbing Wall Street's ladder at Salomon Brothers, Bloomberg found himself on the wrong side of a corporate merger. At 39, he was out. But instead of nursing his wounds, he did something audacious-he walked into a cramped Madison Avenue office with a view of an alley and bet everything on an idea that Wall Street's old guard thought was ridiculous: that traders armed with real-time data could outthink the market's guesswork. Twenty years later, that one-room startup would become a global powerhouse with 325,000 terminals in 120 countries, fundamentally reshaping how financial markets operate. The fired executive became a billionaire, then mayor of New York City. This wasn't luck-it was the culmination of values forged in a middle-class Massachusetts household, sharpened on Wall Street's trading floors, and unleashed when opportunity knocked in the form of rejection.
