About Me

Joe Shoen is the president and chairman of U-Haul's parent company Amerco. He owns around 20%. His parents, L.S. and Anna Mary Shoen, cofounded the truck and trailer rental company in 1945. Worried that his father was wrecking the company, Joe led a coup in 1986, forcing his dad into retirement and alienating most of his 12 siblings. Brother Mark Shoen, also a billionaire, reportedly remains on good terms with Joe. Despite his problems working with his own dad, Joe's son Sam is an executive at Amerco.
