Recommendation

Despite its title, this book isn’t a guide for everyday investors wondering how to plan for their retirement. Rather, it’s an intriguing look into the careers of upper-echelon financiers of exceptional ability. In this collection of interviews with more than 20 Wall Street superstars, David M. Rubenstein – a prominent investor himself – delves into the backstories of such luminaries as BlackRock founder Larry Fink, real estate titan Sam Zell and hedge fund operator John Paulson. Rubenstein puts his subjects at ease, leading to some valuable insights into how the wealthiest investors view their craft.

Take-Aways

  • When he founded BlackRock in 1988, Larry Fink didn’t think he’d become rich.
  • Jon Gray of Blackstone says that, even after the pandemic-era runup in real estate values, a crash seems unlikely.
  • The leverage used in real estate investing makes the sector a tried-and-true wealth generator, according to Sam Zell.
