Take note, monkeys: if you ever actually "make it" in this business, this is how you want to sound in an interview. The word indefatigable comes to mind as he laughs off the factors that give everyone else on Wall Street ulcers. He calls himself "irrelevant" in the context of the juggernaut he founded. He manages to find the positive in everything. And he insists on ethical behavior at every level. This is a great interview.

schwarzman is a baller though #positiveeffectsofsmallmancomplex
he looks and acts like an old Owen Wilson. How can you not like this guy?
He seems like such a nice guy....he's probably a stone cold killer when it comes to business
He's pretty humble for someone so prominent in PE.
He's probably this guys' bosses' dad. http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/got-email-from-boss-what-do-you-t…
Great stuff. I wonder if he would ever want to run for office?
I hate to disagree here but this Bloomberg interview is not really representative of Schwarzman's usual demeanor. He appears very mellow in this one, like a kind grandpa talking patiently to his grandkids.
The real Mr. Schwarzman is much sharper and intense with his signature sense of humor. I think the following clip provides a much better glimpse of what his usual demeanor is like and what one would expect when sitting down with him at a boardroom.
Incidentally, I saw that the post "how to bribe into restaurants" is back on the homepage again. Like most commenters to that post, I would not pay a cover charge/bribe just to get into a supposedly exclusive restaurant. I would, however, do what is necessary to secure a seat at the Al Smith Dinner.
You beat me on this one.
That was great. "Frankly, you never know if you're hedged enough..." awesome.
Ah The Waldorf Astoria, just across from Greenhill Capital Partners.
He is pretty arrogant from folks I know that work at BX. Insists everyone call him Mr. Schwarzman and berated someone for doing otherwise. I'm not saying this is wrong and wouldn't necessarily blame him given his position, but the humble demeanor sounds like a polished act. Good PR, though.
I think they must be successful because they understand how to operate the companies/portfolios/etc they buy rather than just make a profit on the transaction.
Didn't Schwarzman compare getting rid of the carried interest tax exception to Hitler invading Poland? Not sure I can respect a guy who thinks like that.
Also, his little speech at the Al Smith dinner was a snoozer. C'mon man.
True: There are no old braves in finance.
Possibly the most private equity-y word ever uttered.
lol
At what point in the clip does he use it?
