New York Post – DANIEL Loeb is as famous for his razor-sharp skills as a hedge-fund manager overseeing $3.5 billion in assets as he is for his vicious attacks on fellow financial whizzes – but hisblowhard behavior may be fading as quickly as day traders in the dotcom era.
Next month’s Men’s Vogue says the 44-year-old Wall Street wunderkind, who raked in $150 million for himself last year and splashed $45 million of it on a spectacular, 10,000-square-foot penthouse at 15 Central Park West, is suddenly keeping his trap shut in a bid to remake himself as a kinder, gentler money man.
His newly launched silent act “speaks volumes about Loeb’s commitments to rehabbing his reputation . . . If a hedge fund manager with as many sharp edges as Loeb is trying to soften his image, could the era of the hedge fund cowboy be over?”
