This man is the king of private equity. He is the CEO of the Blackstone Group, which is a buyout firm with about $334 Billion in assets under management. And his fortune of almost $11 Billion is also very impressive. While you probably didn’t know this guy’s name, you know his company, much like the man in the 13th entry.
