Early life and education
Rubenstein grew up an only child in a Jewish family in Baltimore. His beginnings were modest. His father was employed by the United States Postal Service and his mother was a homemaker.[5][6]
He graduated from the college preparatory high school Baltimore City College, at the time an all-male school, and then from Duke University Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude in 1970. He earned his J.D. degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1973, where he was an editor of the University of Chicago Law Review.
Business career
Early law career
From 1973 to 1975, Rubenstein practiced law in New York with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. From 1975 to 1976, he served as chief counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments. Rubenstein also served as a deputy domestic policy advisor to President Jimmy Carter and worked in private practice in Washington, D.C.[7]
In private equity
In 1987, Rubenstein founded The Carlyle Group with William E. Conway Jr. and Daniel A. D'Aniello. The firm has grown into a global investment firm with $223 billion of assets under management, with more than 1,550 employees in 31 offices on six continents.
According to A Pursuit of Wealth by Sicelo P. Nkambule, David Rubenstein expressed fear that the private equity boom would end in January 2006: "This has been a golden age for our industry, but nothing continues to be golden forever". One month later, he said: "Right now we're operating as if the music's not going to stop playing and the music is going to stop. I am more concerned about this than any other issue". According to Nkambule: “These concerns proved to be right as at the end of 2007 the buyout market collapsed...As leveraged loan activity came to an abrupt stop, private equity firms were unable to secure financing for their transactions.”[8]
In May 2008, Rubenstein said: "But once this period is over, once the debt on the books of the banks is sold and new lending starts, I think you'll see the private equity industry coming back in what I call the Platinum Age – better than it's ever been before. I do think that the private equity industry has a great future and that the greatest period for private equity is probably ahead of us."[9]
Rubenstein has said that he was once offered the opportunity to meet Mark Zuckerberg (and invest in Facebook) before he dropped out of Harvard but decided against it, and this is his single greatest investment regret.[10] Rubenstein also said that he turned down a 20% stake in Amazon during the very early years of the company. He told Amazon founder Jeff Bezos that if he got lucky and everything worked out he would at most be worth $300 million.[11]
In 2018, he formed Declaration Capital, a family office focused on venture, growth, and family-owned businesses.[12]
Controversy
Rubenstein is personally recognized for dismissing the staff of the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center where he is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic despite receiving $25M in stimulus money.[13]
Rubenstein was publicly criticized for the work of The Carlyle Group which he owns, which owns a number of mobile home parks and has been pushing poor people out of their mobile homes by hiking up the rental price.[14] John Oliver, in his show, pointed out that manufactured homes are not easy or cheap to relocate, and so poor residents on fixed incomes face eviction and homelessness as rent increases threaten to price them out of their mobile home parks.[15]
Publishing
In October 2019, Rubenstein's first book was published.[16] Called The American Story: Interviews with Master Historians (Simon & Schuster), the book features interviews with historians talking about their areas of historical expertise. Among others, Rubenstein interviews David McCullough on John Adams, Jon Meachem on Thomas Jefferson, Ron Chernow on Alexander Hamilton, and Walter Isaacson on Benjamin Franklin.
Television show host
Rubenstein hosts The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations, which airs on Bloomberg Television and many PBS stations, and is available on CuriosityStream. The show began airing in October, 2016.[17]
Personal life
Rubenstein lives in Bethesda, Maryland, and was married to Alice Rubenstein (née Alice Nicole Rogoff), founder of the Alaska House New York and the Alaska Native Arts Foundation and former owner of Alaska Dispatch News. They met while both were working for the Carter Administration and married on May 21, 1983.[18] They have three children, Alexandra, Gabrielle, and Andrew. The couple divorced on December 8, 2017.[19]
Philanthropy
Rubenstein was among the initial 40 individuals who have pledged to donate more than half of their wealth to philanthropic causes or charities as part of The Giving Pledge.[20]
He has made large gifts to Duke University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Chicago, the Smithsonian Institution, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the National Park Foundation.
In December 2007 Rubenstein purchased the last privately owned copy of the Magna Carta at Sotheby's auction house in New York for $21.3 million.[21] He has lent it to the National Archives in Washington, D.C.[22] In 2011, Rubenstein gave $13.5 million to the National Archives for a new gallery and visitor's center.[23] He has purchased rare so-called Stone copies of the Declaration of Independence,[24] the Emancipation Proclamation,[25] the 13th Amendment,[26] and the Constitution and has lent these documents to the State Department, the National Archives, the National Constitution Center, the Smithsonian and Mount Vernon.
Rubenstein was elected Chairman of the Board of the Kennedy Center, Washington, DC, starting in May 2010. He was Vice Chairman of the Board of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York, and chairman of its fundraising drive. A new atrium was named for him.[27] He is Chairman of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution.[28]
In December 2011, Rubenstein donated $4.5 million to the National Zoo for its giant panda reproduction program.[29] The panda complex was then named the David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat for the next five years and conservation biologists in the U.S. and China who are awarded National Zoo fellowships for their work to save pandas would be named "David M. Rubenstein Fellows."[30] Another $4.5 million was donated in September 2015, about four weeks after a male giant panda cub was born.[31] He also donated $10 million to the National Gallery of Art in support of refurbishment and expansion of the East Building of the National Gallery, work that was completed in September 2016. He is on the Board of Trustees of the National Gallery.
In 2012, he donated $7.5 million towards the repair of the Washington Monument.[32][33]
In 2013, he donated $50 million to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which is being used for a 65,000 square foot addition.[34]
In April 2013 and 2015, he donated a total of $20 million[35] to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which was used to rebuild at least two buildings in the enslaved community on Mulberry Row at Monticello. The funds were also used to restore Jefferson's original road scheme, restore the second and third stories of Jefferson's home which were mostly empty, and replace infrastructure.[36]
In November 2013, he bought a copy of the Bay Psalm Book for $14.1 million, the highest price ever paid for a printed book, and pledged to lend it to public collections and exhibitions around the world.[37]
In 2014, he donated $10 million to Montpelier, to support the renovation of the home of James Madison.[38]
In November 2015, he donated $20 million for the New Commons Building at the Institute for Advanced Study. The building will be named Rubenstein Commons and will feature conference space, meeting rooms, a cafe, and office space.[39]
On February 15, 2016, Presidents' Day, Rubenstein presented a gift of $18.5 million to the National Park Foundation to expand educational resources, foster public access, and repair and restore the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The Park Service plans to create 15,000 square feet of visitor space in the undercroft of the memorial.[40] This gift, presented during National Park Service's centennial year, was Rubenstein's fourth gift to benefit US national parks.[41] On December 2, 2016, Rubenstein in conjunction with the National Parks Foundation, agreed to cover the cost of elevator upgrades to the Washington Monument.[42] The monument reopened on September 19, 2019.[43]
In October 2016, he donated $15 million to the Department Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine to create a hearing center focused on restoring functional hearing loss.[44]
In October 2019, the National Parks Foundation announced that David Rubenstein donated $10 million for upgrades to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. The gift funds a new and expanded museum within the memorial that was expected to be completed in time for the memorial’s 80th anniversary in 2023.[45]
Rubenstein refers to his gifts related to reminding Americans of their historical heritage as "patriotic philanthropy".
