SoftBank has commitments for $100 billion in a new PE fund. $45B is coming from one fund (Public Investment fund of Saudi Arabia) and another $25B is coming from SoftBank. The remaining $30B is coming from third party investors. But still, this will be the largest reported fund since BX's $21B back in 2006 no matter which way you split it. My question is, what is a large fund of this size even doing existing? How do you make this happen? And--if you work there--can I have a recommendation?

No idea, but seeing who is behind this, the guys who'll end up working there will get paid well.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing.
