From NY Magazine: Appaloosa Management's David Tepper is no
ordinary hedge-fund alpha male. I mean, sure, he owns a giant pair of brass
testicles and part of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and does Man Things like buys
his ex-boss's Hamptons house, tears it down, and builds a house twice as big
where it used to stand. Sure, his offices resemble a "high-end sports bar
— all polished mahogany and flat-screen TVs and black-and-gold Steelers
paraphernalia — or a wealthy frat house."
But Tepper also has a sensitive streak, forged in the
crucible of his high school theater troupe, nurtured through a career in the
cutthroat financial-services industry, and finally let loose during a virtuoso
performance today on Bloomberg TV. Tepper, who played Mr. MacAfee in a
high-school production of Bye Bye Birdie, took a sip of water, cleared his
throat, and sang out:
Tepper said he would "rather work at McDonald's"
than go back to Goldman Sachs, where he spent years of his life before leaving
after a tiff with Jon Corzine. But he didn't rule out starring as — oh, I
dunno, Professor Harold Hill in a Short Hills Community Theater rendition of
The Music Man — so maybe there's hope for the songster inside him after all…..
