Whose status is higher in society - MF PE Partner or an A-list celebrity (Kanye/Drake/Beyonce)?
*Edit: Whose status is higher in society - MF PE / SM HF Founder (Kravis/Coleman/Mandel) or an A-list celebrity (Kanye/Drake/Beyonce)?
Same same but different
Dude easily an A-list celebrity… I’m trying to work my way up the ladder at my firm as much as the next guy, but I’m not delusional that an A-list celebrity both probably has more money and is much more beloved by society
Get a girlfriend, kid.
Your brain is playing tricks on you.
You named Kanye, Drake and Beyonce, but not any MF PE partners.
Your question answers itself.
Higher “status”? Most definitely the celebrity.
Higher power? Probably the MF Partner IMO. Why? Think about all the companies they have influence over, the underlying number of employees they have power over, the access to C-Suites, capital raising capabilities, etc.
My $0.02 on a useless question
Stop posting this dumb shit no one cares about a fat balding middle aged IB MD or PE partner.
What about MF PE / SM HF Founder (Kravis/Coleman/Mandel) versus an A-list celeb (Kanye/Drake/Beyonce)?
There’s a lot of ways to think about status / power / ranking and obviously there is no clear answer. A lot of it depends on what each person values which makes it even more arbitrary.
Would generally think in today’s world, all these things could generally be summed up as how much market value any individual has and what that is driven by or tied to. In your example where you name a “MF PE Partner” we must acknowledge a lot of the powers this person has whether it is his ability to invest in large companies, etc. is provided by the platform he or she is part of rather than intrinsic. Said differently, should the average MF PE Partner leave that ecosystem most of his or her privileges would immediately go away. Some of the most successful Partners may have a chance at raising a fund personally which is one way of signaling intrinsic power but for 99% of Partners that’s not possible.
In contrast, Kanye (for example) has much more intrinsic value one could argue. He himself is his own largest asset, he as a human has crazy IP value that isn’t tied specifically to anything other than himself which typically also creates the higher odds of creating personal wealth. Most of the perks a Partner has I would assume Kanye can also weirdly achieve somehow if he wanted to. But in contrast, there are a clear set of advantages that Kanye has as an economic asset that no PE Partner will ever come close to.
At least based on this general framework, frankly I could even see an argument made that an influencer with millions of followers, etc. is better positioned economically than an average MF PE Partner…

It’s kind of funny how Kanye is referenced here. There’s a clip of him after his new album live stream where he went on a rant about how the power/societal ranking, in order, goes: God, thousand year old families like the Medicis, the Vatican, financial groups (specifically cited Blackrock, Vanguard), politicians (Putin and Trump), and then entertainment (Hollywood). Anyway just go live a happy life, not helpful to get bent up on this stuff
A list celebrities and mfpe partners are all pretty great positions to be in.
Kimmy K is both lol
Holy sh*t you’re right ..
If SKKY is a MF to you, you must be at a $50mm fund
LOL she is a managing partner and co-founder of a PE fund, so not exactly MF PE, but probably making similar amounts?
Her strategy is cracked: buy consumer brand -> market to her 360m ig followers -> Brand explodes -> Exit
Kylie Jenner made a billion from Kylie Cosmetics essentially by doing this
Many A listers got smart and got into VC, business ownership, marketing and some form of PE that made them much more than they made from music or tv
