$153,700 Millard (right) and Peggy Drexler (D) J. Crew Group Manhattan
Hot damn, I knew this wasn’t anything more than a marketing scam. And to correct the record, I once knew they were private... I have since learned that they are public - and only have for a couple years.
From wikipedia (yes, again):
J.Crew, a large stake of which was owned by private equity giant TPG Capital, had its stock market debut initial public offering on June 28, 2006. The company’s share price opened over 25% above its IPO offer price on its first day of trading.
The company is listed on the NYSE under the stock ticker JCG. CEO Millard Drexler, a veteran of Gap, took control of 15% of the company following the IPO. Drexler joined the company as CEO and chairman in 2003, and named Jeff Pfeifle as president.
Doesn’t this outrage anyone? Their parents, aka the President of the United States of America and the First Lady, are using their own kids to fill Drexel’s deep corporate pockets in return for campaign contributions.
