10 Richest Private Equity Moguls
Marc Rowan
The low profile co-founder of buyout shop Apollo Global Management, Marc Rowan started off his company in 1990 with former Drexel Burnham colleagues Leon Black and Joshua Harris. The firm, which has $75 billion in assets under management, went public in March 2011; its shares were down since its listing though they have rebounded from their low. Rowan and the other partners didn't sell shares at the time of the IPO but did cash out some of their stake back in 2007, when CALPERS and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority invested. The Forbes list has ranked him at 854 and his net worth is around $1.5 billion.
