Martin Shkreli contributed $1 million to Hunter College High School in March 2015, making it the highest contribution in the school’s history.
Shkreli was rumored to be in a relationship with Christie Smythe, a former Bloomberg Story reporter who broke the news of Shkreli’s arrest in 2015.
Martin Shkreli siblings: Who is his two sisters and brother?
His siblings grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, in a working-class neighborhood.
None of them are documented.
Shkreli graduated from Baruch College with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 2004.
Shkreli told Vanity Fair that he became interested in chemistry when a family member developed treatment-resistant depression.
Shkreli advised shorting the stock of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a biotech firm investigating a weight-loss medication, while at Cramer, Berkowitz, and Company. Cramer’s hedge fund gained when the stock’s price fell in line with Shkreli’s estimate.
The Securities and Exchange Commission examined Shkreli’s knowledge of the stock but was unable to substantiate misconduct on his side.
Smythe called their partnership life partners. Smythe started in October 2021 when the two had split up but remained friends.
