Sir John Ellerman, 1st Baronet
:''This article is about the father, the 1st baronet; see Sir John Ellerman, 2nd Baronet for the son.''
Sir John Reeves Ellerman, 1st Baronet, CH (1862–1933) was an English shipowner and investor. He was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in modern British history, and the only Briton of his generation whose wealth rivalled the leading plutocrats of America's gilded age.〔(Was this the richest (and most secretive) British tycoon ever? ), Daily Telegraph, 22 May 2006. Retrieved 20 January 2010〕 At his death his estate was assessed for probate at almost three times the previous British probate record, yet he is now largely forgotten; a reflection in part of the obscurity he cultivated in his lifetime.〔
==Early life==
Ellerman was born in Kingston upon Hull, the only son of a Lutheran ship broker and corn merchant who had emigrated to England from Hamburg, Germany in 1850, and an English mother. His father died when he was nine, leaving an estate of £600.〔Rubinstein, W.D. ''Men of Property'' (2006), page 61. ISBN 1-904863-12-4〕 Ellerman spent part of his childhood in France and briefly attended King Edward VI School in Birmingham. Ellerman didn't get on with his mother and lived independently from the age of fourteen, when he was articled to a Birmingham chartered accountant. After passing his articles he moved to London, where he turned down a partnership in one of the leading firms of the day to found his own practice, J. Ellerman & Co, in the City of London in 1886. He also one of the first important British businessmen with a professional qualification in accountancy. He was also one of the first businessmen to use modern accounting methods to identify underpriced companies that should be well suited for takeover.〔( The secretive billionaire ), BBC News, 20 August 2009. Retrieved 20 January 2010〕
From 1890 Ellerman began to create major business groups by buying up established businesses, typically ones which had a good product but were in managerial decline after the death of the founder. Most of these businesses flourished under his management. He raised funds from other investors where necessary, but held large stakes personally. The first of these groups was the Brewery and Commercial Investment Trust which appreciated by 1,300% in nine years.
