Sidney Weinberg (October 12, 1891 – July 23, 1969) was a long-time leader of the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, nicknamed “Mr. Wall Street” by The New York Times and “director’s director” by Fortune magazine. In a rags-to-riches story, he rose from a janitor’s assistant, making $3/week, to CEO. Weinberg’s background contrasted sharply with that of the traditional Ivy League Wall Streeter. Weinberg was one of eleven children of a Jewish immigrant wholesale liquor dealer.
