Biography
Salomon was born to a Jewish family[3] in New York City, the son of Percy Salomon who co-founded Salomon Brothers with his brothers, Arthur and Herbert. William joined the firm aged 19 in 1933, soon after the Wall Street crash. He became a managing partner in 1963 and turned the firm into one of the "fearsome foursome" with Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Blyth and Company, that took on the elite white shoe banks such as Morgan Stanley and First Boston".[4]
