Your Weekly Reminder That Joshua Harris, Who is a Terrible Public Speaker, is Really, Really Rich
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Joshua Harris is worth $2.9 billion and, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, was among the highest paid private equity executives in 2013. He makes $100k in salary, but took home more than $275 million. And that’s not including what he earned from selling some of his Apollo shares:
Mr. Harris, 49, collected at total of $396.7 million in 2013, according to securities filings. That includes about $222.5 million in dividends, $53.2 million in payouts on his investments in Apollo’s funds and about $121 million from selling shares in the firm, securities filings show.
All that money and he can’t afford a decent pair of pants*:
I have this theory that Harris bought the Sixers and Devils just so he could earn street cred with his billionaire friends. You can attach a value to many things in life, but you can’t put a price on hugging Allen Iverson on national TV. No, sir. Stephen Schwarzman ain’t doing that shit.
*Actually, those hideous cargo pants probably cost about $800. Which makes me a sad.
