About Daniel Hirschfeld

Daniel Hirschfeld is chairman of Nebraska-based casual clothing retailer The Buckle; he owns about a third of the company.

The Buckle has 440 stores in 42 U.S. states and sells clothing online as well.

Hirschfeld's grandfather opened a men's clothing store in the early 1900s and his dad started the current business in 1948.

Under Hirschfeld, the retailer turned its attention to denim and added women's clothing in the 1970s.

Hirschfeld stepped down as CEO in 1991, a year before the company went public.
