Early life

Bush was born in Midland, Texas, on January 22, 1955. Bush was named after a good friend of the family, Henry Neil Mallon, chairman of Dresser Industries, George H. W. Bush's employer. Bush spent summers and holidays at his family's Maine home, the Bush compound.

He enrolled in the exclusive St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., at the age of 11. He struggled in school; a counselor told his mother that he was not sure the boy had the ability to graduate. He was later diagnosed with dyslexia, and his mother spent a lot of time assisting him with his learning difficulties. Later, his grades improved and he graduated from St. Albans in 1973.

Education

Bush received a degree in economics from Tulane University in 1977. Bush earned an MBA in 1979.

Personal life

For 23 years, Bush married Sharon (née Smith) Bush (born May 19, 1952) Bush (born May 19, 1952). Lauren Bush Lauren (born June 25, 1984), Pierce Mallon Bush (born March 11, 1986) and Ashley Walker Bush (born February 7, 1989). In April 2003, the couple divorced. When he admitted to several sexual encounters in Thailand and Hong Kong, Bush's divorce deposition attracted national attention. Ashley, their minor child who was estranged from her father for a time, was retrieved from her mother by Sharon. In addition, Sharon maintained their marital home after accumulating enough funds to pay off the mortgage.

In 2004, Bush remarried in Houston, Texas, to Maria (née Manass) Andrews, a volunteer at Bush's Houston literacy-foundation office. Ex-husband Robert Andrews filed a lawsuit in September 2003 alleging that Neil Bush was the father of Andrews' two-year-old son. Andrews was the father, according to DNA testing, but the complaint was dismissed in 2005.

Pierce, Bush's uncle, ran for the Texas House of Representatives in 2020 from Texas' 22nd district, but he finished third in a fifteen-way primary.

Career and business dealings

He landed in the Denver area, where he was friends with John Hinckley Jr., who fired President Reagan.

During the S&L crisis of the 1980s, Bush served on the board of directors of Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan from 1985 to 1988. Since his father, George H.W. Bush, was Vice President of the United States, his involvement in Silverado's demise was a point of attention.

The United States Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado's demise and found that he was involved in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary obligations involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation brought a civil lawsuit against him and the other Silverado directors; the case was ultimately settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as a result of the settlement.

A friend who also donated funds to the Republican Party set up a fund to help defer the costs Neil incurred in his S&L legal defense.

In 1999, Bush co-founded Ignite!

Learning is a software company that provides educational software to learners. Bush has said he founded Ignite in Austin, Texas. Pierce is learning because of his middle school's and his son's's learning challenges. The software provides various types of educational styles by using multiple intelligence techniques.

According to documents submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bush borrowed $23 million from US investors, including his children, as well as businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, Kuwait, the British Virgin Islands, and the UAE. Among the documented investors were Kuwaiti company head Mohammed Al Saddah and Chinese computer executive Winston Wong, as well as late Russian billionaire expatriate Boris Berezovsky and Berezovsky's Berezovsky.

In the media, Bush's friendship with late Communist oligarch Boris Berezovsky, a political rival of Russian President Vladimir Putin who at the time of his demise was under investigation for dishonesty in Russia and a candidate for asylum in the United Kingdom, was noted. Berezovsky, a Newbey who died in 2013, had invested in Bush's Ignite. Since at least 2003, the initiative has been in place. In Latvia, Bush met with Berezovsky. Due to Berezovsky's fugitive status, the meeting heightened tensions between the two countries and Russia. In 2006, Bush was seen in Berezovsky's box at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium for a football match, which prompted some stateside remark. In the English language Moscow Times, there had been rumors that the friendship may have heightened tensions between the US and Russia, "particularly since Putin had pains to establish a personal relationship with the US president." George Bush also said in the English language that Moscow Times had suggested that the two countries could increase tensions in US-Russian bilateral relations.

"I endorse many of your comments that if our system is based on assessments, pencil-and-paper tests that measure a kid's ability to recall information," Neil Bush praised his brother, George, for his efforts on education as president, but he denied continuing testing to ensure federal funding continues to flow to public schools: "I share many of our students' fears that reliance threatens to institutionalize bad teaching methods."

Over 13 US school districts (out of over 14,000 school districts nationwide) have used federal funds to purchase Ignite's portable learning centers at $3,800 apiece as of October 2006.

According to a Washington Post article in December 2003, Bush's salary came from Ignite! This year, the company made $180,000 per year.

Bush earned at least $798,000 on three stock trades in a single day of a company where he had been employed as a consultant in July 1999. On the same day as good news about a new Asian client that sent its stock price soaring, Kopin Corporation of Taunton, Massachusetts, reported that it had good news about a new Asian client who sent the company's stock price soar. Bush claimed he had no inside knowledge and that his financial advisor had arranged the trades. Any increase in the stock price on the day was purely coincidental, meaning that I did not have any incorrect information."

When asked about the stock markets in January 2004, Bush contrasted the capital gains he saw in 1999 and 2000 with Kopin stock's (£287,722 in all) in 2001. In 2001, Kopin began a wide decline in high-tech stock valuations.

Bush has been invited to address audiences in other countries. Bush says he has received courtesy visits from world leaders, but there are no plans to shift to foreign policy. "People may extend an invitation and it's amusing for me because of my father's goodwill and because of the president's being who he is." Bush said. "Any of these individuals are family friends."

Bush referred to increasing anti-American sentiment in Arab countries and that the two countries must engage better. According to him, the Arab P.R. is a republic in the Arab countries. The machine is not as good as Israel's.

Bush regularly travels to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia to negotiate agreements and raise funds for various companies. According to court records involving his divorce, he was paid $1.3 million for such services in 2000. A commission of $642,500 was charged for introducing an Asian investor to the founders of an American high-tech firm. His world travel left George W. Bush's White House administration unconcerned. "The president knows that his brother will always do the right thing," press secretary Ari Fleischer said.

In 2002, Bush signed a five-year consulting deal with Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp., a company owned by Jiang Mianheng, the son of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who earns more than $20,000 per year for every board meeting he attends.

Bush is co-chairman of Crest Investment, a non-profit corporation. Crest is paid $60,000 a year to provide miscellaneous consulting services.

Neil Bush founded LehmanBush, a veteran China lawyer, in 2001.
