What are the characteristics?
You had two IPOs recently of your own.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I wanted to ask you about the process of taking those public and why.
How does it build into your long-term strategy?
I know you've followed the Buffett playbook.
You've said, you know, Warren Buffett had a great 60-year career and I want to best him.
So how does this all fit in and what was that process like?
Bill's success didn't come without setbacks.
In the mid-2010s, a series of high-profile misplaced bets, including investments in Valiant Pharmaceuticals and nutrition company Herbalife, erased billions, marking one of the toughest stretches in his career.
But Bill helped orchestrate a multibillion-dollar comeback, fueled in part by profitable COVID-19 credit hedges and a record-breaking unsecured personal loan from JPMorgan Chase.
So it hasn't all been roses.
And there was a two and a half year period where it really looked like you were done, you were toast.
And for the people who work here, it might have felt the same.
I don't know.
It seems like it was a scary time.
First, there was Valiant Pharmaceuticals.
Uh, and then there was Herbalife and Carl Icahn.
And all the while you're dealing with a serious personal situation and going through a divorce, your mind is spinning.
