I mean you got the rainmakers that started their own banks—Ken Moelis, PJT, M Klein
One of those is not like the others.

Blair Effron

There is an MD at Barclays directly related to Teddy Roosevelt (great-grandson) -- named Theodore Roosevelt. Think he's in P&U. Seems to do well for himself
I've been out the game for a while so had to look the guy up. Seems very prominent and respectable and all that, but holy shit the first line of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt_IV</a">his Wikipedia page is peak mildly infuriating:
"Theodore Roosevelt V, commonly known as Theodore Roosevelt IV, is..."
wtf!?
pagination error!
pls fix
There’s a 5th one apparently- worked at Lehman and then Barclays
Keep reading "His name suffix varies since President Roosevelt's father was Theodore Roosevelt Sr., though the same-named son did not commonly use a "Jr" name suffix. "
That's pretty funny. At Barclays he goes by IV.
Harvard '65 - whatever, he's a fucking mega legacy, getting in was probably easier than taking a shit for him
UDT/SEALs in Nam after graduating - holy shit this guy does not fuck around

Steve Trauber is a rainmaker in Houston (Citi)

Woody Young, telecom @ PWP
Gene T. Sykes - GS LA
His house is ridiculous
Yeah, the house was built by Cantor of Cantor Fitzgerald
lmao his middle name is tiger can't make this shit up
I think most banks these days understand they they cannot let just one banker have most relationships like they used to few years ago. These days most clients are covered by at least 2 bankers (or at least at my bank) to ensure continuity of coverage should seniors leave.
Yeah but who cares about European MMs?
At a US BB :)
Alan Schwartz the goat
Roger Altman
Hugh Janus is a big rainmaker at UBS
HAHAHA fuck you i fell for that hard

Michael Grimes in Menlo, led the Facebook and Uber IPO
Grimes is legendary for his antics. Word around the street was that as part of his pitch to win the Uber mandate he signed up to be a driver, and gave some absurd number of rides in the year leading up to the bakeoff in order to "show how much he cared about and understood their business". Couple other funny stories I've heard floating around that are a little less plausible though hilarious if true.
can confirm lol
Aryeh Bourkhoff at LionTree runs a one-man show. Legitimately believe he's the highest profile advisor in Media / Telecom M&A – that $39bn Liberty Global deal breaking today was all him. Have to question the rationale behind some deals – ViacomCBS seems to me the media equivalent of Deutsche / CoBa – but huge respect for what he has built.
Can't recommend his https://www.liontree.com/-/media/LTSaberTooth/YearEnd/LionTree-2019-Yea…</a">year-end letter enough for anyone remotely interested in media and strategy.
Bruce Wasserstein
Are you aware of the blunder his team made when he was at First Boston, that lead to him being pushed out of the firm? The valuation model his team used to value the target form was wrong. Cost the firm 210 Mn USD (660 instead of 450Mn), in late 70s.
I'm not, but would enjoy reading about it if you have a link
Yeah, definitively a very low point in his career and not the only one.
Wasserstein wasn't pushed out of First Boston. He left and took an enormous amount of rainmakers with him.
Damodaran comes across as pretty bitter toward Wasserstein in the video you linked.
I kid you not - there's a Saul Goodman at Evercore. ![https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/32/7a/4f327a4031592c64712e7f8cdd2ffa1…] [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/32/7a/4f327a4031592c64712e7f8cdd2ffa1… https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/32/7a/4f327a4031592c64712e7f8cdd2ffa1…
He also basically owns his line of business across the street (selling GP stakes in funds). He has some ridiculous market share at 70-80%
Dr. Mantis Tobagon, very active in the HY market
I heard he only drops magnum deals
Harry Richard does well for himself at Nomera I hear
Noah Wintroub at JPM, although the WeWork fiasco might hurt him.... Pretty sure he got them in on Facebook, LinkedIn, and GoodRx
some of the best traders (PnL money making machines) and best paid people in the banks are not MDs btw.
Michael Richter (Lazard) dominates A&D
Tim Ingrassia at GS
Rainer Langel at Macquarie Alexander Dibelius at Goldman
