Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton has joined Avenue Capital Group, a $12 billion hedge fund manager whose founder has contributed to many Democratic Party campaigns, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.
Clinton, 26, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has taken a post at the New York-based fund manager in an undisclosed capacity, the source said.
Clinton, who graduated from Stanford University in 2001 and studied philosophy at Oxford University, most recently worked at consultants McKinsey & Co. from 2003.
Avenue which focuses on distressed securities investing was co-founded by Marc Lasry. Morgan Stanley this week bought a minority stake in Avenue.
Well-known in hedge fund circles, Lasry has contributed to political campaigns for Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Bill Bradley, John Kerry and other Democrats in recent years, federal election records show. However, Lasry has also contributed lesser amounts to campaigns for President Bush, the records show.
Chelsea Clinton couldn’t be reached for comment. A spokeswoman for Avenue said the company “does not comment on issues of company personnel.”
News of Clinton’s hire was reported by the New York Daily News Friday.
She and her teeth joined....
Running the Clinton Foundation wasn’t keeping her busy?
Chel seems to have a difficult time keeping a job — even in the family business.
just an inside pair of eyes so Bill and his hag can extort them
So you're saying that Chelsea's got some "Red Bone" in her...lol.
Probably some Webb Hubble, too.
“Ms. Clinton, we don’t want you to actually manage any funds. Just be ready to call Mommy when we tell you to.”
I still can’t believe that such people exist. How can they live with themselves screwing everyone every day?
She’s 36.
This article is over 9 years old.
This is from 2006.
How’s about ......
Let me tell you how we’re sneaking $100 bills out of this foreign country .... covered in a special coating .......
Oh no, Chelsea had to get a job
The Clinton Foundation must be laying off
Yup. If I had any money there, it would be elsewhere by next week. Just think about what this one hire says about the firm’s attitude towards client money.
Must be her international degree in economics /s
With a solid business background like Chelsea Clinton has, how could they NOT hire her?
Pull your money out before the Clinton’s steal it
Chelsea is closer to 36 than 26 .
Being a Hedgehog, she’ll fit right in with the other hogs.
Wonder what her parents did to secure that type of payment.
