What do you think Steve Schwarzman will buy with his $350,000 in pocket change?
In its preliminary IPO prospectus, private equity firm Blackstone Group said it will henceforth pay billionaire bossman Stephen Schwarzman a salary of just $350,000 a year (don't worry, he'll have a few other sources of income).
Anyway, in my post yesterday I described this as "just the money he uses to tip coat-check ladies."
Meanwhile, Dana Cimilluca wrote in WSJ.com's Deal Journal that "it probably would cover a mere slice of his birthday cake."
Come on, people of Internetland, I think you can do better than that.
Update: A nice one from Dealbreaker:
Last night a friend of ours wondered if Steve Schwarman might drop his $350,000 salary in the backseat of a cab after celebrating the IPO one night. Like a spare umbrella or a girl you met at The Anchor.
Update 2: By the way, I'm not saying I didn't like Dana C's quote. I was just urging a little reader participation. With so far disappointing results (not that I don't like YMM's comment).

Seriously, I'm more interested in his other sources of income, say the amount of options he'll have, his bonus, etc. Yeah nice cover there to have a 'reasonable' salary, make it seem like he's not one of those overpaid CEOs with ridiculous compensation. Nope, now he's in for it, public company, well I want to know what the real total compensation will be...and let's see that $350,000 for what it is, wallpaper for his office....
