STEPHEN FEINBERG

$1.2 billion

Provenance

Bronx, New York, 1960. B.A., Princeton.

Habitat

Divides his time between a $50 million Manhattan townhouse (the former Egyptian Embassy, which boasts its own movie theater) and a 2,500-squarefoot home in Connecticut.

Company

Cerberus Capital Management LP, a hedge fund, private equity shop and investment bank with assets of $120 billion and stakes in at least 50 companies, including a grocery store chain, Alamo Rent a Car and National Car Rental concerns, Burger King and Air Canada, and the $1 billion defense contractor Dyncorp. At one time, it also owned a piece of General Motors, and it profited from the taxpayer-funded bailout of the auto industry.

Big Toy

He owns a private 800-acre military site outside Memphis, Tennessee, called Tier 1, which has shooting ranges, on-road and off-road driving courses, and a parachute-drop zone, as well as an “urban-combat compound” designed to look like an Afghan village. He is also an avid big-game hunter.

Famous Evil Deed

He named his private equity company after the mythical three-headed dog at the gates of Hades, so you know the list is too long for this brief entry. To pick but a few, after his Cerberus Capital played a big role in gutting Ohio’s Anchor Hocking Glass Co.), he turned to collecting gun companies, and his Freedom Group now controls at least a dozen gun manufacturers, including companies that make the assault rifle used in the Sandy Hook massacre and other mass shootings.

Trump Post

An unofficial adviser on the intelligence community. Donald Trump at one point suggested he would assign him to investigate intelligence leaks.
