Early life and education

John (Jack) Bogle was born on May 8, 1929 in Verona, New Jersey to William Yates Bogle, Jr., and Josephine Lorraine Hipkins.

His family was affected by the Great Depression. They lost their inheritance and had to sell their home, with his father falling into alcoholism which resulted in his parents' divorce.

His academic record was excellent that enabled him to join the prestigious Blair Academy where he showed a particular aptitude for math as numbers and computations fascinated him. In 1947, John graduated from Blair Academy cum laude and got accepted to Princeton University where he decided to study economics and investment.
