最新美國最年輕女億萬富豪新鮮出爐
It was yet another record-breaking week for the stock market. The S&P 500 closed at a new high Thursday of 1790.62, gaining 2.5% during the past week. The index minting new records is becoming about as reliable as a new scandal a day from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, but this week it was optimistic words from the soon-to-be Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen that precipitated investor confidence. In her first appearance before the Senate Banking Committee, Yellen emphasized her intentions to continue cushioning the economy via quantitative easing — good enough to bump the S&P by 0.5% Thursday. With the market party still raging onward, it wasn’t hard to find some big winners. Of course, the most notable one had her family, not the market, to thank for her bump:
對股市來說，這又是打破紀錄的一週。標普500指數在週四創下新高，收報1,790.62點，較過去一週上漲2.5%。該指數屢創新高的節奏正變得跟多倫多市長羅伯·福特（Rob Ford）每天爆出一條新醜聞一樣穩定，不過這周給投資者打強心針的是準美聯儲主席珍妮特·耶倫（Janet Yellen）所做的樂觀發言。在其參議院銀行業委員會（Senate Banking Committee）首秀中，耶倫強調了她繼續通過量化寬鬆政策爲經濟提供緩衝的意圖——光這一點就已經足以在週四提振標普500指數上漲0.5%了。在市場盛宴方興未艾的情況下，我們並不難發現一些大贏家。當然了，對於其中最值得一提的一位贏家來說，其財富增長歸功於她的家族，而不是市場。Estee A Little Longer
雅詩蘭黛後繼有人
Cosmetics queen Estee Lauder didn’t have a monster week in trading, but Jane Lauder, one of the granddaughters of the eponymous founder saw her fortune jump after filings with the SEC showed she had been given control of additional shares through family trusts. Lauder, 40, who has worked for the cosmetics giant for years and sits on its board, now holds just under 20 million shares, worth $1.4 billion. That makes her the youngest female billionaire in the U.S. and one of the youngest in the world. No new SEC filing for her older sister Aerin, 43, who is the company’s style and image director and is chairman of her own brand Aerin, has popped yet. Still she holds at least 16 million shares, worth just about $1 billion.
化妝品巨頭雅詩蘭黛（Estee Lauder）的股價在這周沒有經歷大幅波動，不過，在簡·蘭黛（Jane Lauder）向美國證券交易委員會（SEC）提交監管文件顯示她通過家族信託基金獲得額外的公司股份之後，其個人財富出現激增——她是該公司創始人雅詩·蘭黛（Estee Lauder）的孫女之一。簡·蘭黛今年40歲，她已在這家化妝品公司工作多年，並且是董事會成員。目前，簡·蘭黛持有該公司近2,000萬股股票，價值14億美元。這使她成爲美國最年輕的女億萬富豪，同時也是世界上最年輕的億萬富豪之一。現在尚沒有關於艾琳·蘭黛（Aerin Lauder）的新監管文件，43歲的艾琳是簡的姐姐，她是雅詩蘭黛的風格暨形象總監，並且是自有品牌Aerin的董事長。不過，艾琳至少持有公司1,600萬股股票，價值約10億美元。Mythic Proportions
驚人增幅Alan Trefler got his start working for his father’s antique restoration company. These days he’s traded antiques for business technology and software solutions at Pegasystems, the company he founded in 1983. Despite decades of experience, his management strategy doesn’t rely a whole lot on formal authority. “I often tell people that if somebody cites me as the reason for doing something, they should throw them out of the office. If I want somebody to do something, I will personally find them and tell them, ” he told the New York Times in 2011. You can’t argue with the results. The company just blew past third-quarter earnings expectations, with quarterly revenue topping $122 million — a 20% increase from last year. Net income also increased, improving to $8.7 million from a loss last year. Pegasystems’ stock popped, ending trading Wednesday up 27% from last week at $48.95 per share. That boosted Trefler’s stake by $211 million in value, closing at $977 million (though a small portion of his 20 million shares are pledged as collateral). Though the stock has dipped a little bit since that Wednesday high, Trefler’s still worth more than $900 million.
阿蘭·特雷弗萊（Alan Trefler）的起點是爲他父親的古董修復公司打工。如今，他已經從古董生意轉行爲提供商業技術和軟件解決方案，他在1983年成立了Pegasystems公司。儘管已經有幾十年的經驗，但特雷弗萊的管理策略並不十分依賴於正式職權。“我經常告訴人們，如果有人把我說成是做某些事的理由，那他們就應該把那個人趕出辦公室。如果我想要某人幹什麼事，我會親自找到並告訴他們。”特雷弗萊在2011年接受《紐約時報》採訪時如是說。你無法反駁這種策略帶來的成果。Pegasystems最近公佈的第三季度財報超出了市場預期，其季度營收突破1.22億美元，比去年同期增長了20%。該公司淨利潤同樣有所增長，從去年的虧損變爲盈利870萬美元。Pegasystems的股價出現飆升，在週三交易日報收於48.95美元，較上一週上漲了27%。這推動特雷弗萊所持股票的價值上漲了2.11億美元，使其個人淨資產達到9.77億美元（不過，在他所持的2,000萬股股票中，有一小部分被抵押爲擔保品）。儘管該公司的股價在週三達到高點後已經下跌了一些，但特雷弗萊的個人淨資產仍然超過9億美元。Quite Refined, Indeed
石油熱潮造富Paul Foster founded Western Refining in 2005 after close to a decade of running affiliated companies. The El Paso, Texas-based independent refiner and marketer went public in 2006 at $17 per share and eclipsed $50 per share before making a poor acquisition leading up to the recession, battering its stock. The company was under $5 per share as late as 2010, when the economy started showing life and U.S. oil production began booming. The oil rush, which now has the U.S. as the top exporter in the world, has invigorated many of the industry’s companies, and it would appear Western Refining is no exception. But it was a strategic acquisition that set Western Refining’s share price on a 15.3% rise this past week, closing Wednesday at $36.81 per share. It bought a 38.7% stake in Northern Tier Energy for $775 million, increase the company’s refining capacity by 89, 500 barrels per day for a total of 242, 500 barrels. Foster, who owns 21.7 million shares or about 25% of the company (though 4 million shares are pledged as collateral against a loan), saw his stake rise $101.8 million in value during the week for a total of $767.9 million.
1997年，保羅·福斯特（Paul Foster）創立了西部煉油公司（Western Refining），此前他有近十年經營相關公司的經歷。西部煉油公司的總部位於得克薩斯州的埃爾帕索，這家獨立煉油商和貿易商在2006年上市，股票發行價是17美元，並曾達到50美元的高點，但該公司股價因經濟衰退前的一筆糟糕收購交易而受到重創。直到2010年，西部煉油公司的股價還不到5美元，當時經濟已經開始回暖，而美國石油生產迎來了蓬勃發展。石油熱潮——美國現在是全球最大的出口國——已經爲這個行業的很多公司帶來生氣，看起來西部煉油公司也不例外。不過，令西部煉油公司股價在過去一週上漲15.3%的是一筆戰略收購交易——其股價在週三交易日報收於36.81美元——該公司以7.75億美元的價格收購了Northern Tier Energy公司38.7%的股份，這使其自身的日煉油能力增加了89,500桶，達到每日242,500桶。福斯特持有公司2,170萬股股票，持股比例爲25%（不過，其中400萬股股票被抵押爲一筆貸款的擔保品），過去一週這些股票的價值增長了1.018億美元，使他的個人淨資產達到7.679億美元。The Really Rich In Real Time
實時億萬富豪Amazon’s Jeff Bezos (net worth $33.9 billion) was the biggest dollar gainer yesterday, netting $971 million. Spanish retail mogul Amancio Ortega wasn’t far behind at $887 million. But after his clothing conglomerate Inditex lost 2.3% last week, he was due for a rebound, and he now rests with a $65.8 billion net worth. This week’s biggest loser was Oracle’s Larry Ellison, who lost $668 million on Thursday trading, which will barely leave a mark on his more than $43 billion net worth.
亞馬遜（Amazon）的傑夫·貝索斯（Jeff Bezos，其個人淨資產爲339億美元）是上週四最大的贏家，其個人淨資產增長了9.71億美元。西班牙零售巨頭阿曼西奧·奧特加（Amancio Ortega）以8.87億美元的增長稍落其後。不過，奧特加旗下服裝集團印第紡織（Inditex）的股價在上一週下跌了2.3%，他是正好趕上了股價反彈，現在個人淨資產爲658億美元。本週最大的輸家是甲骨文（Oracle）的拉里·埃裏森（Larry Ellison），他的個人淨資產在週四交易日縮水6.68億美元，但相較於逾430億美元的身家來說，這只不過是九牛一毛。
