Like none of the stories about Larry and Larry loved to gamble.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

But I kind of think Larry was a gambler because Bill's a gambler.

Two grand in 1980s money?

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

That's like a lot of money.

Behind the Bastards

He's a rich kid, but still.

I only found a couple fun anecdotes from that period of Bill's life, but one of them is pretty devastating.

Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Like, this is something Bill allowed to be put out as part of his, like, PR.

Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Basically, this is from the Pershing Square, that's his, like, hedge fund, the Pershing Square Philanthropy website.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

I can't believe he let this get published.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

According to Bill, Larry helped set him up with the woman he married.

Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

Women in business school had issues with dating men in business school, Bill said.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

There's more to the quote, but like, holy shit, I gotta take a second.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: The Rise of the "Activist" Investor

That's amazing.
