[David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group is “more modest than counterparts such as [Stephen] Schwarzman, [in 2016 CEO of the Blackstone Group] who in 2007 threw himself a now infamous three-million-dollar birthday party at the Park Avenue Armory, in New York, and who spends more freely in politics, especially on Republican candidates.”
