That was Michael Milken, who was quoted by Michael Douglas in wallstreet and everyone ooo and aaaa'd and thought that was cool. Michael didn't quote it though, he said it as if it was his own so it sounded cool.
Milken was actually put in jail for fraud as the means for building his personal wealth on junk bonds. Turns out it wasn't so cool to be greedy after all.
Here is a local story of greed and it's results, potentially imprisonment, for a lil' republican that wanted him a big house. He might just get himself in the big house.

Hmmm interesting...
I know that the character of Gordon Gecko (played by Douglas) was based on Ivan Boesky... But I wasn't aware that Milken used it (or a similar quote) as well.

That's still true beer, it was based on Ivan but that quote was lifted from Michael Milken. You didn't give me any points for all that? gheesh.
