What is the profile of Wharton Business School?

Wharton grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri during the Great Depression. At that time, he was still a little guy with lively and sharp eyes, but he had great ambitions. He is a "very young scout and quarterback of Missouri high school football champion team" and helps his family through the difficulties by selling newspapers and milk. After graduating from the University of Missouri, he joined the army and took part in World War II. Like hundreds of others, when the unstable peaceful economic period of 1954 came, he found a job and began to support his family.

In the next few decades, the working and living standards of Americans have been greatly improved. Wharton found himself at the center of great change. He has the talent to predict the development trend of the world, and can understand earlier than others that the social and demographic statistics sweeping across the country will have great application value in business. This intuition made him from an obscure little grocer to the largest retailer in the world and the richest man in America.

By the time Wharton died in 1992, his family had a net worth of $25 billion. He left a huge and extensive legacy to the American business community, which made him a monument to the business community. Among Fortune 500 companies, his Wharton chain store ranks fourth, with annual sales of nearly $654.38+02 billion, second only to General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Esso Oil Company.
