“Leon throws some good parties, because Leon’s worth like twenty gazillion, like twenty billion or something crazy, and for him, you know, a billion dollars is like ten dollars to us,” Mr. Stern said on his Monday show on SiriusXM Radio, following Black’s 60th birthday party in Southampton. Mr. Black sits on the company’s board…Mr. Black had his backyard transformed into a faux nightclub setting, constructing a wooden deck over his swimming pool and building a tent for Mr. John’s concert. After a buffet of crab cakes and steak, partygoers sat on couches with big puffy pillows. They watched Mr. Black’s four grown children deliver touching toasts to their father, including a poem by the youngest son. “Oh, I wish I was Leon Black’s child,” Mr. Stern said on Monday.

    Mr. Black? Wasn't he the one who had his ear cut off?

    Mr. Stern, were you able to get Mrs. Black to ride the Sybian?

    i think i'd go with adopted son. being an obnoxiously rich and entitled douche would be fun but having that morbidly obese set of genes would eventually weigh on my psyche

    Wait, Howard Stern is still on the air somewhere?

    "In 2009, at a Christie’s auction, he(Black) paid about $47 million for a chalk drawing by Raphael of a woman’s head." See this guy is a job creator. I'm not sure who this Raphael fella is but, I'm sure he's glad Obama hasn't taken all his money.

    Why does this witch-looking subhuman drivel still have thoughts about anything except why he is still on air. The only value this guy could possibly add is having Lynn Tilton come by and suffocate him to death with her massive boobs.

    Few Observations –
    1. HS more similar to LB than you may think: both have made fortunes off the middle/lower classes
    2. Schumer is a POS and can always be counted on to be annoying/self-inserted into various affairs
    3. Taxes need to be raised on incomes over $3m/yr, progressively, where, e.g., those making $5m/yr are minimally increased while $50m/yr are taxed big -like 60% federal.
    4. Aforementioned tax changes need to be as uniform as possible among G20s

    Oh fuck off you sack of shit. What a crock of mindless drivel.
