Inside the Trillion Dollar Industry That Owns
Everything
What do Dunkin’ Donuts, J. Crew, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Burger King
have in common? They are all currently or just recently were owned,
operated, and controlled by private equity firms. The New
Tycoons: Inside the Trillion Dollar Private Equity Industry That
Owns Everything takes the reader behind the scenes of these
firms: their famous billionaire founders, the overlapping stories
of their creation and evolution, and the outsized ambitions that
led a group of clever bankers from small shops operating in a
corner of Wall Street into powerhouse titans of capital. This is
the story of the money and the men who handle it.
Go inside the private worlds of founders Henry Kravis, Steve
Schwarzman, David Bonderman, and more in The New Tycoons,
and discover how these men have transformed the industry and built
the some of the most powerful and most secretive houses of money in
the world.
* With numerous private equity firms going public for the first
time, learn how these firms operate, where their money comes from
and where it goes, and how every day millions of customers,
employees, and retirees play a role in that complex tangle of
money
* Author Jason Kelly tells the story of how thirty some years ago
a group of colleagues with $120, 000 of their own savings founded
what would become one of the largest private equity shops in the
world, completing the biggest buyout the world has ever seen, and
making them all billionaires in the process
* Presents a never-before-seen look inside a secretive and
powerful world on the verge of complete transformation as the
industry and its leaders gain public profiles, scrutiny, and
political positions
Analyzing the founders and the firms at a crucial moment, when
they’ve elevated themselves beyond their already lofty ambitions
into the world of public opinion and valuation, New Tycoons
looks at one of the most important, yet least examined,
trillion-dollar corners of the global economy and what it portends
for these new tycoons.
