“Is This What the Life of an Investment Banker is Really Like?”
By BankersBall on Nov 7, 2006 in Clublife, Famous Bankers, Lifestyle, Video
This is two weeks old, but I just came across it. Judging from the fact that the A.J. stuff is still getting commented on, I thought you might be interested, too. Below is a Fox News clip with pundits on AJ/Vayner/etc. Forget about “models and bottles” these people blow me away with their gay commentary:
“Nobody writes letters anymore … nobody even talks on the phone (that) very much…”
“If it looks real on TV, my kids … think it is real!”
The only one with a brain is the hedgie who I actually agree w/r/t the little brother concept.

A FOX news panel was on this? Enough! I think it’s time we see Jon Stewart or Conan talk to A.J.

Fox should do some REAL reporting.

The best question: “Would you trust this guy with your hard earned money?” If AJ is half the man he claims to be he won’t take anyone’s money who actually had to work hard to earn it.

if those girls are “models”, AJ needs a better paying job. Seriously.

Old clip, but funny nonetheless

I’ll take those models anyday of the week, especially the chick with no shirt on!

He does work harder than I - I can’t come close to affording a Boxster S and I’m a VP!

What AJ really needs is a car with more than 2 seats - did you see those girls stacked in one seat? Gotta love the impracticality of a 2 seater

So if the Porsche on video is 60K let’s say, assuming he didn’t put many options on it. Let’s take a more boring 5 series and compare the price per seat.
60K / 5 seats on the 5 series = $12K a seat
60K / 2 seats in a roadster = $30K a seat
More money spent per passenger if you look at it this way. God, I’m such a nerd calculating this crap…

What I’m curious to see is AJ’s other girl friends - they didn’t even put the girls names on the clip. Makes them look like a bunch of hoochies! At least give the girls respect by showing their names!

I’m not sure if this is the life of all bankers - most are at home playing with their kids, or busy passing out when they get home at a ridiculous hour.
I’d like this lifestyle though.

As I said, there are some SERIOUS PLAYERS HATERS READING THIS BLOG!

Apparently AJ has reached non-financial sites like US Weekly - I saw this yesterday

By the way, its apparent from the news clip that the correspondent has a pretty good idea about where AJ works. Why won’t she tell us? Don’t you just love the insatiable schadenfreude on behalf of the wall street community?

FOX has a little bit of class not to reveal it…good call on their part

I’m more interested in seeing his relationship with the two girls, or other “models” as he says. Always interesting mixing finance and fashion industries..

He should get on Entourage somehow and be Ari’s prick sidekick

Yeah the A.J. could stand for “Ari Jr.”

Gheez, what a bunch of crap.. going out to bars and clubs partying with girls and drinking champagne on your free time make you a bad person lacking morals?
Most professional people got strict boundaries between business and pleasure, some like spend their free time playing golf, driving their Ferrari or take a ride in their yacht, some go to relax at strip clubs or enjoy partying with scantily clad girls.

I agree Derivatives
If you can make the money, you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Lot of jealous people is what it comes down to I think. I’m sensing younger people responding that may be getting sick of their high rent?
Guy’s not afraid to indulge

Derivatives,
None of those things make you a bad person. Being so insecure as to brag about your material wealth in a video without knowing that you’re a complete tool makes you a bad person. A bad person worthy of plenty of ridicule.
