	Saul Steinberg Early Corporate Raider Dies At 73 Saul Steinberg, who led massive takeovers of companies before the titans of private equity popularized leveraged buyouts, and became one of the first personalities in finance to be dubbed a corporate raider, has died at the age of 73. A lover of dealmaking, Steinberg rose to Wall Street prominence in the 1960s but ran into health and financial difficulties by 2000. His death was announced on Friday by CNBC, where his daughter-in-law Maria Bartiromo is a presenter. Steinberg is survived by a wife and six children, including Bartiromo's husband Jonathan, the CEO of asset management firm WisdomTree Investments Inc . Steinberg gradually moved into obscurity after he suffered a stroke in 1995 and the conglomerate he created filed for bankruptcy in 2001. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1939, Steinberg graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia at the age of 20 with an idea to lease IBM computers.
