How private equity firms can resemble the empires they once broke up | FT Big Deal
General Electric was once the mightiest enterprise in the world, worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Tony Robbins Holy Grail of Investing Book: Build Your Wealth NOW!

“The Holy Grail of Investing” author Tony Robbins emphasized the importance of exploring alternative investments beyond the traditional stock market to navigate financial disinformation and achieve wealth growth, during a Feb. 15 interview with Jesse Watters on Fox Business.

Robbins, leveraging his extensive access to financial experts, underscores the significant return differential between the stock market and alternative investments like private equity.

Robbins pointed out that while the stock market has historically offered a 9.2% return, private equity investments have yielded an average of 14.2%, suggesting a potential for making 50% more money annually. He illustrated this with a comparison: $100,000 invested in the stock market could grow to $2.9 million over time, whereas the same amount in private equity could reach $13.9 million, showcasing the profound impact of choosing the right investment vehicle.

The discussion also touched on the barriers to entry for average investors in these lucrative markets. Traditionally, the most successful funds and investment opportunities in private equity were available only to the wealthiest investors or institutional funds. However, Robbins highlighted recent regulatory changes and initiatives, like a group in Houston, Texas, that allows individuals to buy in as partners in private equity funds, democratizing access to these high-return investments.

Robbins expanded on the concept of investing in monopolies, such as sports teams, which offer unique investment opportunities with compounded returns of 18%. He emphasized the monopolylike status of these investments, where ownership in a specific area can lead to significant financial benefits, not just from ticket sales but also from broadcasting rights and other revenue streams.

Fractional real estate platforms have opened up new paths for everyday investors to step into the real estate market with an entry point as low as $100. This crowdfunding approach not only simplifies the investment process but also offers a way to generate regular income through dividends and enjoy the growth in property value over time. Arrived Homes stands out as a prime example of the innovative investment solutions Robbins advocates for, making previously out-of-reach markets more accessible to the general public.

Kim Kardashian Enters into the World of Private Equity with SKKY Partners | Global Alts 2023
SKKY Partners, a private equity firm co-founded by Kim Kardashian and Jay Sammons that focuses on both control and minority investments in high-growth, market-leading consumer and media companies.

Kardashian — whose stake in SKKY is partially held by a vehicle called Favorite Daughter Inc. — has set the firm up with a strong team, though investors can’t do much until they have more money to work with, Axios reported.

In August, for example, Kardashian — who also owns $4 billion shape-wear brand Skims — hired former Apple retail boss Angela Ahrendts to server as SKKY’s senior operating adviser.

In the role, 63-year-old Ahrendts is focused on on making investments across consumer products, e-commerce, media and entertainment.

“As we continue to expand SKKY Partners and focus on identifying strategic investment opportunities for the firm, it was the perfect time to have Angela join us,” Kardashian said in a statement on the hire at the time, after SKKY first launched in late 2022.

How Private Equity Plundered The American Economy | Ft. Adam Conover
Have you ever wondered why so many major retail chains have filed for bankruptcy or closed locations recently? Toys r Us, Baskin Robbins, J Crew, Hertz, 24 Hour Fitness, Dunkin Donuts…. It’s pretty much an entire mall. It’s not just because of the pandemic: There’s a shadowy mafia that has been ripping off the entire US economy while making themselves rich. Really rich. This group is responsible for bankrupting hospitals, your favorite retail chains and even ripping off Taylor Swift. They’re called Private Equity. And your company might be next. We took a deep dive into the shocking strategies that the Private Equity Mafia uses. Hope is not all lost though. There are things we can do to fix these problems. Transparency, for one: Enter the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the federal agency charged with stopping bad actors from manipulating the markets. The SEC, led by Biden appointee Gary Gensler, has proposed changing their rules so that private equity firms would have to, you know, tell the truth about their returns of their funds, and disclose transparent information about all the fees that they charge. Obviously the lobbying groups representing private equity firms are up in arms about the idea that they might have to disclose even some basic information to their investors. Meanwhile in Congress, the federal Stop Wall Street Looting act, introduced in 2021, would limit the amount of debt used in buyouts, increase transparency, and close tax loopholes. And what can you do, yourself? Well, unionize. A unionized workforce is better protected against a leveraged buyout. Without those changes, the private equity mafia is going to keep getting away with their schemes to line their pockets with YOUR money.

Rich and poor – the inequality gap (2/3) | DW Documentary
Christoph Gröner is one of the richest people in Germany. The son of two teachers, he has worked his way to the top. He believes that many children in Germany grow up without a fair chance and wants to step in. But can this really ease inequality? Christoph Gröner does everything he can to drum up donations and convince the wealthy auction guests to raise their bids. The more the luxury watch for sale fetches, the more money there will be to pay for a new football field, or some extra tutoring, at a children's home. Christoph Gröner is one of the richest people in Germany - his company is now worth one billion euros, he tells us. For seven months, he let our cameras follow him - into board meetings, onto construction sites, through his daily life, and in his charity work. He knows that someone like him is an absolute exception in Germany. His parents were both teachers, and he still worked his way to the top. He believes that many children in Germany grow up without a fair chance. "What we see here is total failure across the board,” he says. "It starts with parents who just don’t get it and can’t do anything right. And then there’s an education policy that has opened the gates wide to the chaos we are experiencing today." Chistoph Gröner wants to step in where state institutions have failed. But can that really ease inequality? In Germany, getting ahead depends more on where you come from than in most other industrialized countries, and social mobility is normally quite restricted. Those on top stay on top. The same goes for those at the bottom. A new study shows that Germany’s rich and poor both increasingly stay amongst themselves, without ever intermingling with other social strata. Even the middle class is buckling under the mounting pressure of an unsecure future. "Land of Inequality" searches for answers as to why. We talk to families, an underpaid nurse, as well as leading researchers and analysts such as economic Nobel Prize laureate Joseph Stiglitz, sociologist Jutta Allmendinger or the economist Raj Chetty, who conducted a Stanford investigation into how the middle class is now arming itself to improve their children’s outlooks.

Inequality – how wealth becomes power (1/3) | DW Documentary
Germany is one of the world’s richest countries, but inequality is on the rise. The wealthy are pulling ahead, while the poor are falling behind. For the middle classes, work is no longer a means of advancement. Instead, they are struggling to maintain their position and status. Young people today have less disposable income than previous generations. This documentary explores the question of inequality in Germany, providing both background analysis and statistics. The filmmakers interview leading researchers and experts on the topic. And they accompany Christoph Gröner, one of Germany’s biggest real estate developers, as he goes about his work. "If you have great wealth, you can’t fritter it away through consumption. If you throw money out the window, it comes back in through the front door,” Gröner says. The real estate developer builds multi-family residential units in cities across Germany, sells condominium apartments, and is involved in planning projects that span entire districts. "Entrepreneurs are more powerful than politicians, because we’re more independent,” Gröner concludes. Leading researchers and experts on the topic of inequality also weigh in, including Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, economist Thomas Piketty, and Brooke Harrington, who carried out extensive field research among investors from the ranks of the international financial elite. Branko Milanović, a former lead economist at the World Bank, says that globalization is playing a role in rising inequality. The losers of globalization are the lower-middle class of affluent countries like Germany. "These people are earning the same today as 20 years ago," Milanović notes. "Just like a century ago, humankind is standing at a crossroads. Will affluent countries allow rising equality to tear apart the fabric of society? Or will they resist this trend?”

Money and power – how much influence do the super rich have? (3/3) | DW Documentary
How much power do people with a lot of money really have? Who decides how Germany should look? These questions are the subject of the film "Land of Inequality - Power.” Many studies show that a small but wealthy part of society defines a country’s political direction. It’s the same all over the world. German researchers evaluated hundreds of opinion polls on the topics of the economy, environment, foreign policy and finance. They then examined what poor people wanted from politics on these issues - and what the rich did. The differences were clear: "An obvious example is taxes on property,” says Armin Schäfer, a political scientist at the University of Munster. "Higher income groups are more skeptical about any reintroduction of a property tax, whereas lower income groups definitely want it. So far, we have not reintroduced a property tax in that form.” So who gets to decide what Germany looks like? To find out, our film follows building contractor Christoph Gröner, who has made millions from the construction business. Gröner wants to build an entire new district in Cologne, which is facing a severe housing shortfall and where rents are soaring and the poor in particular feel ignored. But he has faced delays in getting building permits. Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker says: "It is a city’s job to provide land and grant building permits.” But can’t it do that faster? Gröner says the politicians should take their foot off the brakes. To show how much power money really wields, we go to the places where politics and economics come together - to the district town halls and the VIP box at a Bundesliga stadium. And to Europe's largest real estate show in Cannes, where billionaire investors use their financial clout to shape cities and regions as they wish.
