The world of business and politics mourns the loss of Bernard "Bernie" Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot and a prominent benefactor of the Republican Party.
Marcus, who was 95, was known for his vocal support of former President Donald Trump in recent years.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Marcus had amassed a significant fortune, estimated at around $7.4 billion by CNN. His wealth was primarily derived from the establishment of Home Depot, a venture he embarked on with Arthur Blank in 1978. Born in Newark, New Jersey, Marcus was the youngest of four children born to Russian Jewish immigrants.

Marcus' life story is a testament to the power of free-market economics and individual determination. His journey from humble beginnings to becoming a billionaire embodies the conservative values of hard work, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance. His support for the Republican Party and Donald Trump underscored his belief in limited government and traditional values.
Marcus' passing leaves a void in the spheres of business and conservative politics. His legacy, however, lives on in the thriving Home Depot empire and his significant contributions to the Republican Party. His life and achievements serve as a reminder of the potential of individual freedom and the free market to create prosperity.
