"In 1979, he left his father's real estate firm to found Equity Group Holdings, with his brother Mitchell Rales. Using junk bonds, they bought a diversified line of businesses: first Mastershield, a vinyl siding manufacturer, then Mohawk Rubber Company, then Diversified Mortgage Group. They changed the name to Diversified Mortgage Investors, in 1978, and then Danaher, in 1984."

This is confusing. They founded the company in 1979, then went back to 1978 to change the name? Also the Danaher page says founded in 1969. S.M.R would have been, what, 13 years old? Enon (talk) 09:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rediculous Numbers

Articles states worth of $3.2 Billion USD but a loss of $3.8 Billion USD.

The loss is "hardcoded" into the description (apparently not automatically updated).

Obviously he cannot be a "richest person" if he is also showing heavy losses.

Please someone explain who is editing and why there is both:

$3.2 Billion UDS ($3.8) Billion UDS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.204.96 (talk) 15:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
