Saturday Showdown: Kravis, Schwarzman, and SI girls
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these posts and this one just feels really overdue.
If we were to listen to all the trolls on WSO, the pinnacle of your career in finance would be an entrance into the hallowed halls of two rivaling Private Equity firms:
KKR.
And Blackstone.
Headed by arguably two of the most magnificent SOBs to hit the street; KKR’s Henry Kravis and Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman have taken this rivalry quite personally over the years, taking it out of the boardroom and into practically every facet of life they can, from real estate, to artwork, donations, and finally to parties.
Well, let’s settle this for them.
Who’s more badass?
Kravis?
Or Schwarzman?
Here’s the Tale of the tape:
| Henry Kravis | Steve Schwarzman | |
|---|---|---|
| Age: | 67 | 64 |
| Education: | Claremont McKenna, Columbia Business School | Yale (Bonesman), Harvard Business School | Net Worth: | $ 3.9 Billion | $ 5.9 Billion |
| Cribs: | 26 room triplex at 625 Park Avenue, weekend home on "Billionaire's Row" in Southampton, an apartment in Paris, a ski house in Vail, and a home in Palm Beach. | $30 million triplex of John D Jr. at 740 Park Avenue. Also owns Four Winds, a 13,000-square-foot Palm Beach mansion he recently had demolished as well as lavish homes in Jamaica and St. Tropez, and a $38 million estate in Water Mill. |
| Notorious For: | RJR Nabisco | Million Dollar Birthday Bash |
So pick a side, who has the upper hand in this PE rivalry?
Henry?
Or Steve?
Let's handle this like monkeys gentlemen.
And because a proper fight needs sexy round girls…
| Brooklyn Decker | Irina Shayk | |
|---|---|---|
| Age: | 23 | 25 |
| Height: | 5'9" | 5'10" | Measurements: | 34D-24-34 | 34-23-35 |
| Eyes: | Blue | Green |
| Ethnicity: | American | Russian |
Enjoy your weekend WSO.
Dude, change these chicks - they both look like shit.
Brooklyn Decker. But Marisa Miller over her and everyone else.
I'd choose Brooklyn over Irina Shayk but that's probably because Irina doesn't look nearly as good as Brooklyn in that picture... new pic for Irina and my opinion may change
Irina hands down
If you are going to post about Schwarzman/Kravis, then you need to post an equivalent for chicks. The chicks you've chosen are not on par with this level of comparison. Kate Middleton would have them for dinner.
LMAO. "Schwarzman Caliber" chicks. Only on WSO.
Kravis 100%
I would rather build a PE firm on my own and then acquire both of them. And I would choose both girls. I'm fucking ambitious.
Awesome
Extraordinary answer. Ave Caesar!
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this answer^ is correct?
Schawrzman, younger and higher net worth.
Brooklyn Decker, but only because Bar Rafaeli didn't come back this year.
Steve Schwarzman - "Blackstone" just sounds so much more badass Irina Shayak - and it's not even close; Brooklyn looked out of shape in the movie with Sandler, which btw sucks ass; plus, who doesn't love Russians?
If I had to choose I would pick Irina Shayk over Steve Schwarzman and Henry Kravis.
schwarzman, a bit more charismatic in my opinion and doesnt have that whole Mr. Burns look going.
Irina, gotta love that russian thing.
Has anyone actually been with a Russian chick (dating,lived with, talked to)? If so, your opinions may change upon...say a week with one. That is to say, I've had some bad experiences with them so much that I cringe whenever I see one. You may or may not find yourselves in a similar situation ... just be weary of their goofy black magic ways.
have you ever tried a Scottish chick? not the scottish american type chicks..a girl from scotland who just got here.
not snobby, i have a thing for the accent and most friends/coworkers love it, great eyes and better legs, blonde... even better if she's a bartender at a bar named after a saint.
i am describing ex-gf from 2008-2009.. amazing in all aspects.
KKR FTW
haha yeah russian chicks are quite different than what someone would expect, but i still like it.....
