Adebayo Ogunlesi’s Global Infrastructure Partners is in advanced talks for a takeover of Virginia-based AES Corp.
Adebayo Ogunlesi's fortune fell to $2.2 billion as BlackRock shares declined from $1,075 to $951.73 since Jan. 31.
The sharp increase in his fortune is tied to Adebayo Ogunlesi’s investment portfolio, valued at over $1.8 billion.
The strategic move comes in the wake of BlackRock’s announcement of its intention to acquire GIP in a deal valued at $12.5 billion.
Under the leadership of Ogunlesi, GIP has flourished into the world’s largest independent infrastructure manager.
Gore revealed that the move is a strategic attempt to deliver value.
