[edit] Early life

Pilzer completed college at Lehigh University in three years and received his MBA from Wharton at age 22 in 1976. At 24, he was appointed adjunct professor at New York University, where he taught for 21 consecutive years. While employed as Citibank’s youngest officer at 22 and its youngest vice president at 25, Pilzer started several entrepreneurial businesses— earning his first $1 million before age 26, and his first $10 million before age 30.

[edit] Political advisor

He was an appointed economic advisor in two presidential administrations and warned of the impending $200-billion savings-and-loan crisis years before official Washington was willing to listen—a story that he later told in his book Other People’s Money, which was critically acclaimed by the New York Times and The Economist magazine in 1989.
