David Rubenstein's career in government came to a quick close after the 1980 presidential election. He went back to being a lawyer but realized a career in business could provide him with more excitement. David found inspiration from former Treasury Secretary Bill Simon’s buyout of Gibson greeting cards where he turned a $330,000 investment into $66 million dollar profit in only 16 months. While still being in Washington D.C. he saw an opportunity of being in the center of policy. David Rubenstein then formed the Carlyle Group with two business partners with solid backgrounds in finance. They developed a rare concept of building a diversified, multi-fund firm. The Carlyle group invested in real estate, growth capital, credit, infrastructure, among many other things. After creating a high quality and institutional company they became one of the first global firms, with investment teams throughout the globe (i.e., Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). Today Carlyle has $325 billion of assets under management and has invested $133 billion of equity in the corporate private equity area and generated $256 billion of gains for investors. Rubenstein continues to be a co-chairman of the Carlyle group and interviews some of the best business minds across America on his YouTube channel.
