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 life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
