Blackstone’s top honcho Steve Schwarzman is reportedly set to take the stage at the UK government’s Global Investment Summit.
The billionaire tycoon, who serves as chairman, chief executive, and co-founder of private equity giant Blackstone, will deliver a keynote address at the summit on 29 November in London, according to a report by Sky News.
Schwarzman is also understood to have wooed a lineup of global business leaders to attend the summit at which Elon Musk is also rumoured to be a guest.
Last week, Schwarzman accused remote workers of being idle, staying at home so they “don’t work as hard” and can save money.
His leadership has catapulted Blackstone into a $1 trillion asset management powerhouse, earning him worldwide acclaim as one of the investment elite.
Over the past 20 years, the New York-listed firm has snapped up leisure companies including Center Parcs and Merlin Entertainments, the company behind Legoland.
Blackstone and the Department for Business and Trade declined to comment on Monday.
