JP Morgan smashed earnings estimates last week, as other banks have seriously struggled in the first half of 2011.
That makes Jamie Dimon, the bank's CEO, man of the moment.
The thing is... Dimon is often man of the moment.
When you look back at his life, there's a trend, and it's not hard to see: Jamie Dimon comes out on top, every time.
Even when he gets fired...
Dimon, a twin, was born with finance in his blood and grew up on Long Island in a modest family home
In 1956, Mrs. Themis Dimon gave birth to twin boys Jamie and Ted Jr. They already had an older brother.
Dimon's dad was a stockbroker. And his grandfather, a Greek immigrant, also worked in finance.

The modest life didn't last long: the family moved from Queens to the Upper East Side on Park Avenue
Dimon went to public school in Queens until he was in the fifth grade, then his family decamped to Manhattan.

Once he arrives on the Upper East Side, the athlete and ladies' man attended Browning: a private, all boys high school
At Browning Dimon played varsity soccer, basketball and baseball. Apparently his nickname was "Mad Dog." Amazing.
Dimon was also a bit of a ladies' man. "In senior year, he majored in his girlfriend," a pal said.
