Blackstone just purchased Simply Self Storage; whom I've been employed by for 4 years. I enjoyed seeing this interview very much and am excited about my future employment knowing some history now of Mr. Schwarzman and Blackstone. Thank you for posting it. God bless 🙏

30:51 don't buy what you don't need. If you can't improve it - don't touch it. 33:25 buying stocks on market vs Warren Buffet

I hope Blackstone thrives more and more as you have done so far♥

That taint is called "Regulatory Capture"

Blackstone is always in my mind♥

[@TankNSSpank]

No wonder this guy always speaks in CCP's favour.

[@asnark7115]

Indeed. He's one of theirs.

[@emmanuelshipstone]

He is a billionaire but wears a $60 Swatch watch.

[@viennacalling85]

27:00 keep dodging those human rights questions like some of your ancestor jews who defended Hitler.

"If you poison your customer twice, they'll never come back." Yes, because they'll be dead. :D

[@markteague8889]

I am really curious as to just what Mr. Schwarzman has ever really done (and done well) in his entire life besides play with other people's money?

[@exas4791]

From a person who kindly gave a book, to a person who demanded $ 5000 more than the highest figure another person he knew received. Seems like the alpha showing up.

[@rayrothermel4861]

My bullshit detector went off about 8:00

[@rolotomasi5935]

Revolving door.

[@tremordrake1749]

I don't get it? was he complicit during the financial crisis?

[@rolotomasi5935]

His friends all went into "altruistically motivated" government positions for low pay. Then they went through the revolving door to the private sector. I don't know this, I'm guessing. I'm a good guesser.

[@lapinrigolo]

Disconnected from reality much?

[@yashk246]

He's self made from a poor mother and father so I don't think he is

[@SurferTy]

All legit. I read his biography book. I say i read, it was an audible. But he dives into M&A and his approach. He also gave back a ton of money and time. Pretty amazing what he is doing for the world

[@guharup]

@@yashk246 his family was upper middle class, not poor

[@baitedlol3315]

Whose reality yours ?
