Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs for example has won "only" $ 68 million in 2007, a fraction of the jackpot hit by Schwarzman. If the latter, brother of George Bush at Yale, is not the only one to win huge sums, other financial stocks in the same areas are more "modest". Apart from the bosses of hedge funds, few can claim financial compensation to 10 digits.

Paul LeClerc, president of the city's library, described the donation as "unimaginable." The main building of the library will be renamed to Schwarzman, whose name should also appear on five other locations (columns and entry), which according to one of its representatives was "delighted". Still, Blackstone's shareholders are given a grim: the fund has announced a drop in profit in the last quarter of 2007 of 89%. The share value has halved Blackstone IPO since the summer of 2007.
