Personal Life

Fink's eldest son, Joshua, is chief executive officer of Enso Capital. Joshua's father owns a stake in that hedge fund.

Larry Fink flies on commercial airlines (unlike most other Fortune-500 CEOs). Likewise, according to an interviewer, he takes the train rather than a private jet when he spends time at his 26-acre country estate in North Salem, New York, about 50 miles from his NYC office.

Fink has been married to his wife Lori since the mid-1970s. Aside from homes in Manhattan and North Salem, they also have a home in Aspen, Colorado. He enjoys fly fishing and skiing, and has a collection of American folk art. The Finks have three children and they are also grandparents. He is a lifelong Democrat.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “she bit the towel and called on God
    and I saw her life stretch out . . .
    I saw her torn in childbirth,
    and I saw her, at that moment,
    in her own death and I knew that she
    knew.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
