Schwarzman takes on England's pesky newts
Blackstone boss Stephen Schwarzman has found a new adversary in the rolling hills of southern England.
A billionaire private equity tycoon may have run into one of his most formidable opponents yet.
In his day job as Blackstone's chief executive, Stephen Schwarzman is used to dealing with slimy adversaries. But amid the rolling hills of southern England, the Blackstone boss has run into a formidable new opponent: newts.
Schwarzman is Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Blackstone, one of the world's largest alternative investment firms. He is also a major landowner in England, and he recently purchased a large estate in the Cotswolds.
However, Schwarzman's plans to develop the estate have been met with resistance from a group of local residents who are concerned about the impact the development will have on the local environment. The residents have formed a group called "Save the Cotswolds" and have been lobbying against Schwarzman's plans.
One of the main concerns of the residents is the impact the development will have on the local population of newts. Newts are a protected species in England, and the residents are worried that the development will destroy their habitat.
Schwarzman has said that he is committed to protecting the environment and that he will work with the local residents to ensure that the development is done in a way that minimizes the impact on the newts.
However, the residents are not convinced. They say that Schwarzman has a history of putting profits before the environment and that they are worried that he will not keep his promises.
The battle between Schwarzman and the residents is likely to continue for some time. It is a David and Goliath battle, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
