Steve Schwarzman is global Private Equity behemoth Blackstone’s Founder and Chairman.
He’s 77 years old, and is worth some ~38bn dollars. So one can say he’s successful.
Here’s what he said in an interview recently, which offers some exceptional motivation:
Schwarzman, who will likely never retire, insists his global ambitions have nothing to do with money. "I look at anything and say, 'What's the maximum we can make this?"" he says of his life's work. "If you see some amazing opportunity, I just get so excited about that. Why shouldn't we own that? Let's go."
