Who Is The New Adonis Of Wall Street?

Posted by John Carney, Jun 02, 2008, 9:57am

Earlier today we mentioned a legal battle between a nineteenth century gossip rag called the Flash and a stock-broker named Myer Levy. It seems that Levy's good looks, or perhaps his reputation for whoring, led to him being nicknamed "the Adonis of Wall Street."

That's definitely a nickname that deserves to be dusted off, as one of our commenters pointed out. So who should be the new Adonis of Wall Street? Earlier votes have already been cast for Jamie Dimon, whose success at running JP Morgan Chase and Greeky good looks have many women on Wall Street rating him as crushtastic.

Dimon? Come on. Applying this term anything other than ironically is way too gay.

I think renaming the street based on greek mythology would be funnier - Poseidon is a gimme.

10:21 i think you are thinking of the cruise ship from the movie Poseidon, the one that capsized and sank, rather than the greek god Poseidon

Posted by John Carney, Jun 02, 2008 10:30AM

Well, it could be either. The ship that sank or the god who lives underwater.

paging Mr. E:

'Adonis (Greek: Άδωνης, also: Άδωνις) is a figure of West Semitic origin, where he is a central cult figure... His cult belonged to women: the cult of dying Adonis was fully-developed in the circle of young girls around Sappho on Lesbos, about 600 BCE, ...'

Is there really any doubt?

@ blndebnker

Obviously he's using all the $ he's minting from his Citigroup stock for meaningful pursuits, er, uh, um....

@Anal_yst

Clearly. Is he the same guy that had the solid sterling silver Audi? I would have to think so.

Scratch that - the Audi belonged to the shiek who was president of the UAE. That thing was gorgeous.

To go for Jamie D. you would have to be some kind of masochist. True, he is good-looking; true, he is successful. To do what he does, though, one would have to see one's self as supremely capable of judging other humans, and to be able to let people go if their contribution to an organization didn't meet some cost equation carried around in one's head. Kind of an anti-humanity that's not too much of a turn on. Plus he's married and has been so for a long time.

Those who find themselves drawn to Jamie D., I suggest you find opportunities to hear him talk. His Queens accent and just the facts, Ma'am, manner of speaking can always help you beat back Jamie fever.

And then there are the attractive stories of his short fuse. If he does not hesitate to call a well-respected Wall Street CEO a "jerk" in a conference call, imagine what he might say to you, say if you gained five pounds. Or dared to venture an opinion opposite to his.

Try to focus on the guy that shares common interests with you, that has that connectivity thing going on.

@11:55 - that was a hoax, the audi was made of aluminum and polished / stripped of paint work. http://www.joewein.net/hoax/hoax-a8-made-out-of-silver.htm

Too bad, nice looking one though.

Posted by blndebnker, Jun 02, 2008 12:39PM

@12:33pm - Seriously? That's disappointing.

sterling would be too soft for a car - easy to pound out a dent though.

Dylan Rattigan or Jim Cramer as the Narcissist of Wall Street?

It has to be The Guy from Delaware. Listen - he ate 12 cannon balls plebe year and then pooped so large, it made the bulletin boards. No upperclassmen messed with him. That is reason enough!

Yes, of course, women are strangely drawn to men who tell 40 year old Navy anecdotes that involve cramming down inedible food, then posing for a souvenir photograph next to the resulting pile of human excrement.

Why do I feel that @5:11pm was a self-nomination from TGFD himself?

@ 6:03. Nope. Asswipe.
