Well, at least 2022 was good to someone: Chief Executive Officer Steve Schwarzman took home a record $1.27 billion for 2022

Submitted by cannainform2 t3_11b53o9 in wallstreetbets

Blackstone Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Schwarzman took home a record $1.27 billion for 2022, extending his stature as one of the most highly paid executives in finance. 

Schwarzman, who owns some 20% of Blackstone shares, reaped roughly $1 billion in dividends alone. He also earned another $253.1 million, most of it through incentive fees and his cut of fund profits known as carried interest. The haul compares with about $1.1 billion the prior year.

>I am not surprised that Schwarzman was able to take home such a large sum of money. He is one of the most successful executives in finance and has been extremely successful in growing Blackstone's business. I believe that he is worth every penny that he earns.

When your offer gets beat by an all cash buyer you can thank this guy and the agent who gave him your wife

This is super misleading. The $1B in dividends is not part of his comp plan. This is what he earns as an investor. This is no different than any other rich investor earning a shit ton in dividends from a large investment.

I would love to see the break down of the incentive fees and cut of profit. My guess is his investors are more than willing to give him a split of profit if their return is higher that the benchmark by a significant enough amount.

The shares he owns lost 4 billion in value while he got 1 billion dividend, only regards could consider that being good.

The Monopoly game guy, who wears a tuxedo and monocle, is based on the execs at Blackstone.

It's literally the same thing. It's just that for some reason in north America dividends have to be paid like a bond when a stock is supposed to have risk. On top of that they have to increase the dividends regularly. Not a big deal a Canadian cartel but for a company that get into trouble that means that instead of retaining earnings they have to borrow money with interest.
