Lock up yo' crab claws!
Blackstone Group LP co-founder and Chief Executive Stephen Schwarzman collected about $690 million in dividends, compensation and fund payouts for 2014, according to a Friday regulatory filing, the highest annual payout ever notched by a founder of a publicly traded private-equity firm. The amount represents a nearly 50% increase over Mr. Schwarzman’s 2013 figure and also tops the $546 million received in 2013 by Leon Black, who co-founded Apollo Global Management LLC.
