Bill Ackman Opens Up About Wins, Losses, and his Twitter Madness
The founder of Pershing Square Holdings opens up about his mistakes, his anti-DEI crusades and why he still hates to pay for parking.
Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square, is reviled by some, and applauded by others. One thing everyone agrees on: he’s the loudest figure in the financial sphere. As the next installment for my “Earn Your Luck” column in The Wall Street Journal, he’s loud, brash, and, I must add, damn articulate. Clear and direct in his answers, Ackman covers his wins, losses, and the role of luck in his career. He tackles why he’s one of the sole figures on Wall Street willing to take controversial stances on politics, anti-Semitism, and free speech. When it comes to his money, I ask what he’s neurotic about. He said nothing. I told him I didn’t believe him. So…with a little pushing, he played ball throughout.
Enjoy and add some oomph to your Monday.
Great piece! Still revile him
A great one
