Having a big bank account doesn't make you that much different from the proles...I met Jim Simons while he was taking a stroll on the sidewalk by himself and chain smoking.

He doesn't have body guards with him, he didn't have anyone bring his food to him, and it's Chipotle instead of a 5-star restaurant.

Oh hell, Henry Kravis at least sometimes misses feeling like a normal person!

All we need to do is show a little class, a little sophistication, and we’re in like a dirty shirt.

Do you think some kid tried to network with him while he was standing in line?

Whoever took the picture probably didn't, given Kravis' mean mugging.

If you were there, wouldn't you ask for an autograph ?

By the look on his face, he would've taken down your name and phone and gotten you blacklisted for life

4 billion dollars and doesn't even get a taylor made suit?

Henry I expected more from you

Just because it isn't very slim-fitting doesn't mean it isn't tailored. That's exactly the cut I'd expect to see on a man his age.

That is a horrible cut...maybe its because he s little hunched, but no taylor made blazer should cover the intire shirt collar on the back.

I just recognize the column and table layout from that limited picture (but then again, all Chipotles look somewhat similar, so I'm not 100% sure). I get lunch from there fairly often.

There's no way that's Kravis, but that guy's pissed cause everyone thinks he's Kravis and is always taking his picture or trying to network with him. That face just seems to say "Quit taking those freakin pictures."

Walk into KKR

"Birdman, let me hold a million bucks."

And they would surely give it to him; wouldn't ask for what.
