27 Photos Of The World's Biggest Hedge Funders And Bankers From Their High School Yearbooks

Before they were masters of the universe, the biggest names on Wall Street were once just regular high school kids.  

They were members of sports and academic teams.  They were on the homecoming court.  They entered essay contests, edited the school's literary magazine and starred in musicals.

We combed through a number of high school yearbooks and have compiled photos and accomplishments of some of the Street's most recognizable names. Some of them still look the same, while others have drastically improved their hairdos. 

We even found Goldman's CEO Lloyd Blankfein in his swim trunks.  Enjoy! 

Warren Buffett said he wanted to be a stock broker in the 1947 Woodrow Wilson High School (Washington, D.C.) yearbook.

Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein was the valedictorian of Thomas Jefferson High School (Brooklyn, New York) in 1971. He was a city champion in the 400 meter freestyle. We think we've identified a young Blankfein in his swim trunks below.

Here's Blankfein's senior portrait. He ended up going to Harvard, not Columbia.
