Rose Blumkin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rose Blumkin (born 1893, died 1998) was the owner of Nebraska Furniture Mart as well as a business partner of investor Warren Buffett. Born Rose Gorelick near Minsk, Russia, she moved to the US in 1917 and started up numerous business ventures with her husband, opening the Nebraska Furniture Mart in 1937.

Ms. Blumkin grew that business, eventually selling 90% to Buffett in 1983 for USD 67 millions. "Ms. B" later re-opened and started competing with Buffett at age 98, until she was bought out again at USD 5 millions. She continued to be involved in day-to-day operations until shortly before her death at the age of 104.
