Additional Details
Fascinating piece of financial history from this one-time financial giant.
Lehman Brothers was founded in 1844 as a dry goods store in Alabama by German immigrant Henry Lehman, and was joined by his brothers Emanuel and Mayer in 1850, becoming a major commodity broker in the cotton trade. The company evolved into a global investment bank, surviving numerous financial panics and world wars, but ultimately collapsed in 2008 due to a massive portfolio of high-risk subprime mortgage-backed securities and other derivatives, which led to the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
