==Early life and education==
Broad was born in 1933 in the Bronx, New York, the only child of Lithuanian Jewish immigrant parents who met in New York.〔(Los Angeles Magazine: "A Little Thing Called Power - He has more pull than the mayor, more art than the Getty, and more money than God. Does El Broad own LA?" by Ed Leibowitz ) June 2003〕 His father worked as a house painter, and his mother worked as a dressmaker.〔 His family moved to Detroit, Michigan when he was six years old.〔〔 In Detroit, his father was a union organizer, and owned five-and-dime stores.〔Bruck, Connie, "The Art of the Billionaire", ''The New Yorker'', December 10, 2010〕 Broad attended Detroit Public Schools and graduated from Detroit Central High School in 1951.〔〔
Broad attended Michigan State University, majoring in accounting with a minor in economics and graduating ''cum laude'' in 1954. Among the jobs Broad held in college were selling women's shoes, selling garbage disposals door-to-door, and working as a drill press operator at Packard Motor, where he was a member of United Auto Workers.〔 The same year, 21-year-old Broad married 18-year-old Edythe "Edye" Lawson.〔
Broad became the youngest Michigan resident to attain the credentials of Certified Public Accountant (CPA), a record he held until 2010. Broad worked as an accountant for two years and taught night classes at the Detroit Institute of Technology as an assistant professor of accounting in 1956.〔 Wanting to work on his own, he founded his own accounting firm and was offered office space by the husband of his wife's cousin, Donald Kaufman, in return for doing the books at his real estate firm.〔
