Named one of the "75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century" by Esquire magazine, Mike Milken has long been a leader in finance, medical research and education. In each, he has been uniquely successful in creating value - whether measured in job creation, saved lives (Fortune magazine called him "The Man Who Changed Medicine") or inspired students. Between 1969 and 1989, he financed more than 3,200 companies creating millions of jobs and helping revolutionize capital markets. The Washington Post said he "helped create the conditions for America's explosion of wealth and creativity," a process Business Week said "shook America's defeatist Establishment out of its gloom." The NY Times said "Mr. Milken helped create a new generation of companies and an entirely new way to finance nascent ideas that have fueled the global economy." His philanthropy began in the 1970s and paralleled his business career. In 1982, he co-founded the Milken Family Foundation, whose support of innovations in education and medical research are legendary. Separately, Mike heads the Milken Institute, a leading economic think tank.

He and his wife of more than four decades, Lori, have three children and four grandchildren. Details are at www.mikemilken.com.

In a dynamic and remarkably uplifting multimedia presentation, Milken weaves together the "three great democratizations" of the 21st century: access to capital, to knowledge, and to health.
