Phil Falcone Demonstrates Remarkable Restraint In Not Cutting Small Child

Posted by Bess Levin, Jun 09, 2009, 2:05pm

Harbinger head Phil Falcone and his wife, Lisa "Dime Piece" Falcone, recently made a nice $10 million donation to High Line, NYC's newest park. The couple did so because they are extremely generous but probably also for the number one reason anyone gives money to anything-- the ribbon cutting ceremony. You'd think ten million would get you spot right up front, away from the riff raff (i.e. the people who coughed up less than 5 mill) but then you wouldn't have accounted for the other husbands and wives who gave the same amount, like Barry Diller and Diane Von Furstenberg, Mayor Bloomberg, and the assembled underprivileged children. Damn the underprivileged children! Cityfile notes Falcone's unenviable (and unfair!) position at yesterday's unveiling. Behold as he assesses the situation, attempts to push his way to the front, then becomes aware of his surroundings, and holds back. A lesser hedge fund manager would've trampled short-stack.

And that's all well and good but guess what? We like our hedge fund managers immature and selfish and acting as though, in a room full of people, they're the only one that matters. So, for those of you reading, we suggest you review the following footage, and moving forward, know what kind of behavior is expected.
