    Goldman for “son of gold”.

    And Sachs as the same Germanic root of “Saxon” one of the groups who conquered England.

    Two insanely wealthy old money names.

    When they say “started next to a coal chute” it makes it sound like it was a small business…

    But Goldman was insanely wealthy and the company’s first investments were “IOUs”.

    It was basically a loan racket, the “office” was where the poor people were who needed high interest loans because a bank wouldn’t loan.

    They “started from the bottom” as much as Drake did when he went into rapping.

      Son of gold would be “goldson”. “Goldman” would be a moniker for someone who worked with gold (miner, jeweler, gilder) or possessed/wore a lot of it.

      Drake raps? I thought he just gets bored and starts mumbling and someone records it and puts it to music.
