Where'd the good times go?

Blackstone founder Stephen Schwarzman has expressed some contrition over his February 2007 birthday bash. The celebrity studded $3M dollar event that took place on Valentines Day, 2007, was Schwarzman's coronation as the new king of Wall Street. With the private equity wagon (temporarily) tipped over and Blackstone's stock down 75% , Schwarzman now prefers not to be held up as a symbol of 'that period of time'. After that super-sweet 60th birthday, he decided to have a much lower key 61st.

No sweat Stevy, we still love you even if you no longer throw kick-ass parties.
