Mark Shoen Career

Mark V. Shoen was born in November 1950. Leonard Shoen moved from California to Oregon with his wife after serving in World War II. While there, he saw an opportunity to provide one-way trailer and truck rentals to customers. U-Haul was the name of the 1945 company. As Shoen added insurance and real estate businesses, it received a new name, Amerco. U-Haul is the largest North American provider of rental equipment for do-it-yourself movers.

Leonard Shoen had given 92% of his responsibility to his 12 kids by 1986. According to court documents, Amerco was valued at approximately $4.4 billion at the time. Mark, Joe, and James, Mark’s brothers, led a proxy war that brought them control of Amerco that year. Leonard drove one group of his kids against the threesome’s takeover, the main in over twenty years of family claims. Leonard ended it all in Las Vegas in 1999 by driving his vehicle into a wooden utility shaft, as per a Related Press report of the time.

Mark, Joe, and James firmly held SAC Property in 1993 to purchase self-storage spaces from Amerco, where the three were board individuals. Mark received their stakes after Joe and James sold them.
