What has Bill and Hil Clinton’s son-in-law been up to lately? Fresh off his summer nuptials to their daughter, Marc Mezvinsky has been apparently maxing and relaxing in Jackson Hole. According to the Post, the former Goldman Sachs investment banker has taken a li’l sabbatical from his gig at 3G Capital to “hit the slopes for a few months.”

Saying only that “he’s taken a break from his job,” it’s unclear if Mezvinsky vacated the position for good or if his bosses were kind enough to leave it open in his absence. Regardless, it sounds like he’s having quite the time, having been out west since the beginning of January. Chelsea, who still has a job at Avenue Capital, “plans on visiting him every few weeks.”

For those feeling envious- perhaps there are other firms out there with a lax policy on attendance and/or encourages employees to take advantage of the ski season, or whatever their passions may be?

    translation:

    How happy am i with my wife Chelsea? – i rather give up my career and freeze to death in some hell-hole in the middle of wyoming than share a bed with her.
    Other than that we have a fantastic marriage.

    Here at GS, our employees are our most important asset, and as a firm we strongly encourage a healthy work/life balance. We even encourage our junior associates to take the bus to Stratton on the weekends, provided they bring their pitchbooks to work on and are available via blackberry at any time.

    Anyone know if the visits by Chelsea are conjugal visits? Because if not, I could definitely go for an arrangement such as this.

    WHAT??? When you’re in your early 30′s you just don’t tell your bosses and your career adios. Especially if you are a player in a really well known company and hopefully on your way up the corporate ladder. And what else could/would Chelsea say? Somehow, I suspect neither of them are ‘fessing up to the real reasons for him distancing himself so early in the marriage. Weesod

    Don’t worry, they don’t want you there anyway. Not that you could even manage to get on a lift (the tram would be too difficult for you), let alone actually getting down the mountain.

    His father-in-law is a former two-term POTUS and his mother-in-law is the Secretary of State. This guy could be convicted of beating and mugging someone’s 85-year-old grandmother and he’d still have a job and a promotion waiting for him when he got out of Sing Sing.

    She’s not exactly a 10….but she’s the former president’s daughter and her mum is a pretty big deal.

    he’s ugly…. and isn’t his dad some crook?

    she could do better, he hit the lottery.

    Why would you imagine a fictitious Chelsea who is not in Jackson right now, reply to you that you, as a gaper are not wanted in Jackson?

    I’m guessing you are definitely a miserable, high-maintenance chick or a “male” from brooklyn who believes skinny jeans are a good look.

    Following my 2010 returns, I am on a short sabbatical out West too. A few pictures of my experiences are available at

    Jackson is a really small town that is practically70% men, and the women that are there aren’t exaclty the cream of the crop, but it is (in my opinion) the toughest mountain in the US, so my guess is that this dude (primarily) actually wanted to go skiing and contemplate his life in the middle of nowhere.

    Look at the picture. Closely. If that’s her husband, and if that’s Bill warmly nuzzling his shoulder, I think we should be asking if Bill is in Jackson Hole right now.
