Any relation to Max Kohl, the founder of Kohl's retail chain?

Yes, son of Max Kohl. According to the bio "Alongside his brother and father, he was a founder of the Kohl's department stores chain."
So, Herb:
1) Was a business owner. Made a fortune on Kohl's department stores.
2) Got into politics. Served for a long time.
3) Purchased the Bucks in part to ensure that they wouldn't leave Milwaukee.
4) Also sold the Bucks to owners intent on keeping the Bucks in Milwaukee.
5) Big into philanthropy. Donated $$ to build the Kohl Center stadium at Univ of Wisconsin-Madison.
Bridgeman purchased several Wendy's restaurants after he retired. Bought Ebony and Jet magazines. Through his business work, Bridgeman accumulated a Net Worth of $600 Million.
