The President's second cousin is the global head of investment management for now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers, at the managing director level. He was born in 1969, and started at Goldman Sachs in 1992—and just came to Lehman two years ago. And how many other managing directors does Lehman have under 40 years old? Hmm?
Of course, finance runs in the family! George Herbert Walker I, who died in 1953, founded G. H. Walker & Co., which is now a subsidiary of... Merrill Lynch.
