Schwarzman Wants Truckloads of Money


Not sure how I got through the holiday season without seeing the Blackstone 2024 Holiday Video, but thank God I did.  This morning I reviewed the annual shameless promotion, which made fun of the 2023 "Alternatives Era" edition.  I guess Swifties failed to influence their parents to invest their hard earned retirement money in gated BX products.

I took the liberty of adding Blackstone's goal to the four image elevation of Blackstone founder Stephen Schwarzman.  


The video promoted a number of new Blackstone affiliates.  I made the promotion clear by adding affiliate logos to the images:






The high minds at Blackstone turned to country music for this year's "song."  Shot on the Southern streets of New York City.  Was it near the Southern District of New York, US District Court?




Everybody can enjoy the rich PEU men's video as it is embedded below.  I suggest you wait for your food to fully digest before viewing:

Update 1-9-25:  Blackstone is launching BXINFRA, an infrastructure fund available to wealthy individuals.  Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. LLC provided a $300 million line of credit due January 2026.
approximately 20% of the Fund’s Infrastructure Investment portfolio is comprised of fund interests in Blackstone’s infrastructure funds and a diversified secondaries portfolio.
The PEU boys are happy to be on all sides of a deal.  The better to generate more fees.  The fund is gated, like its sister fund BREIT.  Blackstone will also offer a credit fund for wealthy individuals.

Another article highlighted PEU's desire for access to retiree 401(k)'s and the hope that Trump II will deliver for them.  Trump II, the digital Caligula, may do that for his buddy Stephen Schwarzman.
