Joseph Steinberg is the chairman of Jefferies Financial Group, a New York-based financial services firm best known for investment banking.
He served as president of Leucadia National Corporation, an investment firm which was often compared to a mini-Berkshire Hathaway, from 1979 to 2013.
During his time at the helm, Leucadia purchased companies like National Beef and helped finance Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management.
