We all know Schwarzman, Kravis, Bloomberg are all relatively "height challenged." What about Lloyd Blankfein? Anyone know how tall he is? More credible replies will be by those who've actually seen the guy in person.
My guess is that he's about 5'7" looking at this picture:

(Buffett is about 5'10" - 5'11")

Stood next to Blankfein and he was shorter than me, he's about 5'5 on a good day.
seems like lots of the top dogs in finance are short, any guys over 6'1''?
paulson is 6'1. i feel that john thain is tall too
john mack and ken lewis seem short and stout jamie dimon seems around 5'10 or 5'11
andrew ross sorkin claims richard fuld is 5'10
John Mack was a former football player at Duke.. he's probably a pretty big guy.
this pic is a personal fave of mine

ok, this photo should give us a clue about john mack's height
http://cdn.famegame.com/share/upload/image/access/9414172_Too-Big-to-Fa…
he is same height as Jamie D, and about 1-2 inches shorter than Andrew Ross Sorkin.
so if anyone knows how tall either JD or ARS are, we'll know John Mack's height
Lloyd is well under 5'6. I'd say 5'5 as someone said above may even be generous.
Good to know, Im slightly taller than Lloyd. Never realized Buffet was that tall. Always figured he was pretty short
I'm 5'6 and have met him. He's not an inch taller me, if not shorter.
Met paul volcker the guy is easily 6'3''
Volker is 6'5-6'6 easily. I'm just over 6'2 and he's much taller than me- even stooping.
