About Me

Mike Milken joined what became investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert in 1969 and expanded the market for high-yield junk bonds. He was banned from the securities industry after pleading guilty to securities fraud in 1990. In February 2020, President Trump pardoned him. Milken chairs the Milken Institute think tank, which produces the annual Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles, the Davos of the West Coast. His investments include private equity, hedge funds, venture capital and more than one asset management firm. He's donated $500 million of his fortune on the Center For Advancing The American Dream in Washington DC, which including outside funding is expected to cost $1 billion.
