This is how New York real estate billionaire Larry Friedland got his start: He was studying to be a pharmacist in the late 1950s when he met a guy named Nathan Miller.
“You could name any building in New York, give him the address, without a computer, without a land book, without anything, he would tell you the size of the building, who dropped it in 1929, who jumped off the roof, he was just incredible, ” Friedland said in the first interview of his 55-year career. “He really taught me the business.”
