You might be surprised. The CEO of Blackstone was just killed a few weeks ago.

  You should get off TikTok and try reading the legacy news. Despite its failings, you would know a lot more about the failed attack on the NFL.

      > who served as CEO of the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT) Right. Same as the Luigi guy. She was "CEO" of a department. Not the CEO of Blackstone. Relative to the actually rich she's upper middle class.

        I'm not disagreeing. Perhaps you could have responded to the original comment with that: that it was a CEO of a department that was shot.

          > that it was a CEO of a department that was shot That’s not a CEO. It’s a performative title. The point is the people this article concerns itself with, CEOs of top companies, actual CEOs, they’re not the ones getting shot. Their direct reports, or in the case of Blackstone, I believe, their reports’ reports, are the ones taking the bullets.

  That's not quite what happened. They did, however, attempt to kill some executives, and apparently due to a health issue, so it definitely has some echoes of the Luigi case.
