32 Wonderful Yearbook Photos Of Wall Street's Biggest Players
Credit Suisse CEO Brady Dougan ran varsity cross-country for Hillcrest High School in Illinois.
The Credit Suisse CEO was also in his high school's concert band.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan's senior portrait at Marietta High School in Ohio. He was a member of the French Club, National Honor Society and the football, baseball and track teams.
Here's Moynihan and the track team...
Bank of America COO Tom Montag played varsity basketball at Beaverton High School in Oregon. He also played football and baseball.
Warren Buffett said he wanted to be a stock broker in the 1947 Woodrow Wilson High School (Washington, D.C.) yearbook.
Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein was the valedictorian of Thomas Jefferson High School (Brooklyn, New York) in 1971. He was a city champion in the 400 meter freestyle. We think we've identified a young Blankfein in his swim trunks below.
Here's Blankfein's senior portrait. He ended up going to Harvard, not Columbia.
Sallie Krawcheck, the CEO of 85 Broads, was homecoming queen at the Porter-Gaud School.
Here's Paul Tudor Jones in the 1972 Memphis University School yearbook. He was vice president of the student council.
Ex-Barclays CEO Bob Diamond was on the varsity baseball team at Concord-Carlisle High School in Massachusetts.
That's a young William Ackman at Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York. He quotes Thomas Jefferson, "Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind." He also has the following quote, "A closed mouth gathers no foot."
Ackman was in the National Honor Society.
He was also on his high school's tennis team. He was one of the team's top ranked players.
He was also listed in the yearbook as a member of the math team. (We can't tell which one Ackman is in the picture, though)
His classmates voted him the "most verbose." They also said that they'd like to see him in a Grecian Formula commercial (that's a five-minute hair dye product for men that replaces gray with natural looking color).
That's Ackman in third grade at Douglas G. Grafflin Elementary School in Chappaqua, New York.
Here's Daniel Loeb of Third Point in his 1979 senior portrait for Palisades High School in Santa Monica. We couldn't find any other photos of Loeb in the yearbook. We were hoping he was on a sports team or something since he's so athletic.
We immediately recognized David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital in his Nicolet High School (Wisconsin) yearbook from 1987.
Einhorn was also a member of his high school's math team.
Einhorn won first place in a State Economics Essay Contest, too.
That's hedge fund hot-shot Mick McGuire, who now runs Marcato Capital, in musical theater from the 1993 yearbook for Hickman High in Columbia, Missouri.
David Tepper in the 1975 Peabody High School (Pittsburgh) yearbook. He was a Junior in this picture.
Tepper was a Thespian in high school. He won the 'best actor' award for his school's production of 'Bye, Bye Birdie.'
Tepper was a member of the Slavic club, the bicycling club and the bowling club.
Famed short-seller Jim Chanos at Wylie E. Groves High School in Beverly Hills, Michigan.
That's Whitney Tilson of Kase Capital in the 1985 Northfield Mt. Hermon School (Massachusetts) yearbook. He said, "The key to happiness is understanding how many people there are that are less fortunate than yourself."
Here's Maverick Capital's Lee Ainslie from the 1981 Episcopal High School (Alexandria, Virginia) yearbook.
Ainslie played on the football team. He was on J.V. as an underclassman.
Citadel's Ken Griffin in the 1985 Boca Raton High School yearbook.
That's legendary hedge fund manager Stan Druckenmiller with the Collegiate School's J.V. basketball team in 1968. This is from his freshman year at the Richmond, Virginia prep school.
Druckenmiller was on the honor roll, too.
