Carlyle co-founder publishes a new book on leadership, wealth, and investing.
Key Details
- David Rubenstein’s new book, How to Invest: Masters on the Craft, just released provides lessons and tips from billionaires on how to make investments.
- Throughout the book, Rubenstein uses decades of experience to help the reader along the path of investing. A few questions he asks and answers are the following…
- How did Stan Druckenmiller short the British pound in one trade for a profit of $1 billion?
- What made Sam Zell the smartest, toughest investor the world of real estate has ever seen?
- How did Larry Fink build BlackRock into a firm that manages more than $10 trillion?

- In addition to wise investments, Rubenstein encourages giving and giving back to society using the profits of investment.
- “Investing is not about greed,” he says. “Most of the investors who really make money are giving away the bulk of it. . . Secondly, I think that they are doing something useful for society by actually allocating capital to useful things.”
