Executive summary: Ex-CEO of Reliance Group Holdings Founded a business to lease IBM computers in the 1960s, Leasco, and leveraged the stock from this into bank loans to acquire Reliance Insurance, a company founded in 1917. Steinberg considered acquiring Chemical Bank but did not actually make an attempt to do so. He did, however, make serious attempts to acquire Disney, but was fended off by poison pills and a $60M "greenmail" payment, for which he was the subject of a subsequent Disney shareholder lawsuit. Writing policies cheaply grew his Reliance business very quickly, but the company was unable to fulfill them in the long-term, causing its spectacular bankruptcy. Brother: Robert M. Steinberg
