Steve Mnuchin Joins a Long List of Former Bankers Who Held the Post of Treasury Secretary
Many U.S. Treasury Secretaries hail from Wall Street, with careers at some of the nation's biggest financial firms.
Steve Mnuchin has been tapped to be Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration, joining a long line of ex-bankers who have held the role of the nation's top money man. Mnuchin joined the Trump campaign last spring, and has helped craft the President-elect's proposal to cut taxes. Mnuchin spent 17 years as a banker at Goldman Sachs and now runs a hedge fund. Unlike other treasury secretaries, he's also put his money behind some big name Hollywood movies, include Suicide Squad and American Sniper. Two other former Treasury Secretaries - Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin - also hailed from Goldman Sachs. TheStreet's Rhonda Schaffler has more from Wall Street.
