Resumen del Editor

"Blackstone private-equity hits $1 Trillion in assets, the first among its peers to reach that level" -The Wall Street Journal

What if there was an undercover industry that has impacted your life more than the Great Recession and Covid combined?

Welcome to the trillion-dollar world of private equity.

What started as a $70,000 investment in 1957 has ballooned into one of the largest industries on Earth, and it's just the beginning

Have you heard whispers of private equity in the headlines and company meetings?

Are you graduating college and considering a career in private equity?

Do have an established career and are looking for an exit opportunity?

With an average deal value of $100 million in 2021, you may be curious about what makes this industry tick.

If $100 million seems like an inconceivable number for a single deal, don't worry.

In this audiobook, we explain everything you need to know about private equity and how it made billionaires out of people like Stephen Schwarzman and Henry Kravis.

Here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

-The top players in the private equity game (hint: the largest firm has $1T in assets)

-How small teams of 5-10 get multi-million dollar deals with simple negotiation.

-How the secret sauce of private equity, the leveraged buyout, is used to take over companies like Twitter and Toys R Us.

-Why Blackstone made a record $14 billion on its exit of Hilton Hotels in 2018.

-What it's like to work inside a private equity fund: from competition to seven-figure compensation.

This is not a 600-page textbook about theoretical finance that takes a math degree to understand.

It is written in plain English and free from technical jargon.

Each piece of terminology is clearly defined.

Kickstart your journey into private equity.
