Michael Robert Milken is an American financier and philanthropist. He is noted for his role in the development of the market for high-yield bonds, his conviction and sentence following a guilty plea on felony charges for violating U. S. securities laws. Since his release from prison, he has become known for his charitable giving. Milken was pardoned by President Donald Trump on February 18, 2020. Milken was indicted for racketeering and securities fraud in 1989 in an insider trading investigation; as the result of a plea bargain, he pleaded guilty to securities and reporting violations but not to racketeering or insider trading. Milken was sentenced to ten years in prison, fined $600 million, permanently barred from the securities industry by the Securities and Exchange Commission, his sentence was reduced to two years for cooperating with testimony against his former colleagues and for good behavior. Since his release from prison, Milken has funded medical research, he is co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation, chairman of the Milken Institute, founder of medical philanthropies funding research into melanoma and other life-threatening diseases.

A prostate cancer survivor, Milken has devoted significant resources to research on the disease. In a November 2004 cover article, Fortune magazine called him "The Man Who Changed Medicine" for changes in approach to funding and results that he initiated. Milken's compensation while head of the high-yield bond department at Drexel Burnham Lambert in the late 1980s exceeded $1 billion over a four-year period, a record for U. S. income at that time. With an estimated net worth of around $3.7 billion as of 2018, he is ranked by Forbes magazine as the 606th richest person in the world. Milken was born into a middle-class Jewish family in California, he graduated from Birmingham High School where he was the head cheerleader and worked while in school at a diner. His classmates included future Disney president Michael Ovitz and actresses Sally Field and Cindy Williams. In 1968, he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B. S. with highest honors where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.

He received his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While at Berkeley, Milken was influenced by credit studies authored by W. Braddock Hickman, a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, who noted that a portfolio of non-investment grade bonds offered "risk-adjusted" returns greater than that of an investment-grade portfolio. Through his Wharton professors, Milken landed a summer job at Drexel Harriman Ripley, an old-line investment bank, in 1969. After completing his MBA, he joined Drexel as director of low-grade bond research, he was given control of some capital and permitted to trade. Over the next 17 years, he had only four down months. Drexel merged with Company in 1973 to form Drexel Burnham. Despite the firm's name, Burnham was the nominal survivor. Milken was one of the few prominent holdovers from the Drexel side of the merger, became the merged firm's head of convertibles, he persuaded his new boss, fellow Wharton alumnus Tubby Burnham, to let him start a high-yield bond trading department—an operation that soon earned a 100% return on investment.

By 1976, Milken's income at what was now Drexel Burnham Lambert was estimated at $5 million a year. In 1978, Milken moved the high-yield bond operation to Century City in Los Angeles. By the mid-1980s, Milken's network of high-yield bond buyers had reached a size that enabled him to raise large amounts of money quickly; this money-raising ability facilitated the activities of leveraged buyout firms such as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and of the so-called "greenmailers". Most of them were armed with a "highly confident letter" from Drexel, a tool Drexel's corporate finance wing crafted that promised to raise the necessary debt in time to fulfill the buyer's obligations, it carried no legal status, but by this time, Milken had a reputation for being able to make markets for any bonds that he underwrote. For this reason, "highly confident letters" were considered to reliably demonstrate capacity to pay. Supporters, like George Gilder in his book, state that Milken was "a key source of the organizational changes that have impelled economic growth over the last twenty years.

Most striking was the productivity surge in capital, as Milken... and others took the vast sums trapped in old-line businesses and put them back into the markets."Amongst his significant detractors have been Martin Fridson of Merrill Lynch and author Ben Stein. Milken's high-yield "pioneer" status has proved dubious as studies show "original issue" high-yield issues were common during and after the Great Depression. Milken himself points out that high-yield bonds go back hundreds of years, having been issued by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 17th century and by America's first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Others such as Stanford Phelps, an early co-associate and rival at Drexel, have contested his credit as having pioneered the modern high-yield market. Despite his influence in the financial world during the 1980s, Milken was an intensely private man who shunned publicity. Milken and his brother Lowell founded Knowledge Universe in 1996, a

BUtterfield 8 is a 1960 American drama film directed by Daniel Mann, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey. Taylor won her first Academy Award for her performance in a leading role; the film was based on a 1935 novel of the same name by John O'Hara, following the success of his critically acclaimed Appointment in Samarra. Gloria Wandrous wakes up in the apartment of wealthy executive Weston Liggett and finds that he has left her $250. Insulted, she finds her dress was torn, takes the mink coat of Liggett's wife Emily to cover herself, scrawling "No Sale" in lipstick on the mirror, she orders her telephone answering service, Butterfield 8. Gloria visits a childhood friend, pianist Steve Carpenter, who chastises her for wasting her life on one-night stands, but agrees to ask his girlfriend Norma to lend her a dress. Gloria leaves, Norma tells Steve to choose between her and Gloria. Liggett takes a train to the countryside, his friend, Bingham Smith, advises him to end his adulterous relationships and return to Bing's law firm, instead of working for his father-in-law's chemical business.

Meanwhile, Gloria lies to her mother Annie. Liggett returns home. Finding the lipstick and money, he phones Gloria to explain the money was meant for her to buy a new dress, to replace the one that he had torn. While drinking that night, Liggett advises her to ask a high price for her lovemaking talents, she insists she does not take payment from her dates and claims she has been hired as a model to advertise the dress she is wearing at three bistros that night. Liggett follows Gloria, he drives her to a run-down motel. After sleeping together and Gloria decide to explore their relationship further, they spend five days together, falling genuinely in love with one another. They part only after Liggett's wife Emily returns; when Gloria returns home, she confesses to her mother about having been the "slut of all time", but declares that, all over now since she is in love. Gloria visits her psychiatrist Dr. Tredman to insist that her relationship with Liggett has cured her of promiscuity. For his part, Liggett plans to change his life, taking up Bing's offer of a job at the law firm.

When he returns home, Emily has noticed. Liggett rushes out to search for Gloria at her regular clubs, he is unable to locate her, but in his search he is confronted with the reality of Gloria's promiscuous past. When Gloria finds Liggett at a bistro the following evening, he drunkenly launches into insults. Gloria drives Liggett to his apartment building where Emily, spotting them from a window above, watches as her husband throws the coat at Gloria, saying he would never give the tainted object back to his wife. Heartbroken, Gloria goes to Steve, saying that she feels she has "earned" the mink coat she is wearing. Having never before taken payment from the men she slept with, she now has, she laments "what that makes me", she recounts that when she was 13, a friend of her widowed mother taught her about "evil". She hates herself. Steve insists that Gloria stay the night since both Gloria and he have to decide what to do next. Norma arrives the next morning; the next day, a now-sober Liggett admits to himself that he still loves Gloria and asks Emily for a divorce.

Meanwhile, Gloria tells her mother. Upon discovering Gloria's destination, Liggett drives until he spots her car at a roadside café, he tries to apologize to Gloria by asking her to marry him, but Gloria insists that his insults have "branded" her and that her past is a sore spot that no husband would truly be able to accept. They profess their love for each other, though Gloria agrees to go with Liggett to the motel, she changes her mind and flees in her car. Pursuing Gloria's car, Liggett sees her miss a sign for road construction and accidentally hurtle over an embankment to her death; when he returns to the city, Liggett tells his wife about Gloria's death, announces that he is leaving to "find my pride", says that if Emily is still home when he returns, they will work on their marriage.

Faithfull was found dead of drowning on a beach after having been beaten. In O'Hara's novel, Gloria Wandrous, the character based on Faithfull, is killed by falling under the paddle wheel of a steamboat. Aside from optioning the rights to his story, O'Hara was not involved in writing the screenplay for the film, the film's plot bears only a superficial resemblance to his novel. Location filming was done on City Island on the Bronx. Studio shots were at Chelsea Studios; the café where Liggett finds Gloria as she is going to Boston is a single-story office building, 54 South, Stony Point. Happy's Motel, where Gloria and Liggett stay, is the Budget Motor Inn, 87 South Liberty Drive, Stony Point; the motel still looks the same as it did in 1
