النشأة والزواج والعمل

وُلِد ريتش سنة 1934 لعائلة يهودية في أنتوِرپ، بلجيكا.[4][5] His parents were working-class Jews who emigrated with their son to the United States in 1941[6] to escape the Nazis.[4] His father opened a jewelry store in Kansas City, Missouri. The family moved to Queens, New York City in 1950, where Rich's father started a company that imported Bengali jute to make burlap bags.[7] Rich's father later started a business trading agricultural products and helped found the American Bolivian Bank.[7]

Rich attended high school at the Rhodes Preparatory School في منهاتن. He later attended New York University, but dropped out after one semester to go work for Philipp Brothers (now known as Phibro LLC) in 1954. He worked as a commodities trader for his father, who sought to build an American manufacturing fortune through burlap-sack production.[4]

Rich married Denise Eisenberg, a songwriter and heir to a New England shoe manufacturing fortune, in 1966. They had three children, one of whom, Gabrielle Rich Aouad, died at age 27 of leukemia in 1996.[8] The couple divorced in 1996; she continued to use the name Denise Rich. Six months later he married Gisela Rossi, although that marriage also ended in divorce, in 2005.[2]

وقد عمل مع فلپس برذرز، المضاربة في الفلزات، فتعلم الأسواق العالمية للمواد الخام والتجارة مع دول العالم الثالث الفقيرة. He helped run the company's operations in Cuba, Bolivia, and Spain.[7] In 1974 he and co-worker Pincus Green set up their own company in Switzerland, Marc Rich & Co. AG, which would later become Glencore Xstrata Plc.[7][9] Nicknamed "the King of Oil" by his business partners, Rich has been said to have expanded the spot market for crude oil in the early 1970s, drawing business away from the larger established oil companies that had relied on traditional long-term contracts for future purchases.[2] As Andrew Hill of the Financial Times put it, "Rich’s key insight was that oil – and other raw materials – could be traded with less capital, and fewer assets, than the big oil producers thought, if backed by bank finance. It was this highly leveraged business model that became the template for modern traders, including Trafigura, Vitol, and Glencore...."[10]


التكريم

In May 2007 Rich received an honorary doctorate from جامعة بار إيلان، رمات گان، إسرائيل، in recognition of his contribution to Israel and to the university's research programs.[11][12] He received the same honor from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beersheba, Israel, on 18 November 2007.[13] The Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer in suburban Tel-Aviv, Israel, honored Rich with the Sheba Humanitarian Award 2008. Former recipients of this award include actor Michael Douglas, actress Elizabeth Taylor, and former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford.[بحاجة لمصدر]
