Visionary Real Estate Investor Ari Rastegar to Share Market Insights on Bloomberg TV
Ari Rastegar, Founder and CEO of Rastegar Capital, will appear live on Bloomberg TV Monday, August 18th at 10:30 a.m. ET, joining anchors Matt Miller and Katie Greifeld for an in-depth discussion on the evolving commercial real estate landscape and the broader U.S. economic picture.
Broadcasting in person at the Bloomberg desk in New York, Rastegar will address the recent wave of headlines warning of spreading distress in U.S. commercial real estate. While acknowledging the headwinds created by higher borrowing costs and the work-from-home shift, Rastegar is expected to challenge the prevailing doom narrative.
'Markets are conversations between fear and opportunity,' Rastegar says. 'Yes, there are challenges in CRE, but there are also historic opportunities for disciplined investors who know how to see value where others see risk. Distress is not the end of the story; it's often the opening chapter for the next wave of growth.'
Rastegar will also weigh in on reports that the Trump administration is nearing a long-discussed IPO for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, an event that could reshape mortgage finance and investor sentiment.
Known for his contrarian yet data-driven approach, Rastegar has built a billion dollar real estate portfolio across diverse asset classes by applying disciplined, long-term strategies to navigate volatility and uncover value.
'I've failed more than I've succeeded, but every failure was tuition I paid for a greater return later,' Rastegar notes. 'In real estate, as in life, the key is to stay disciplined when the headlines are screaming panic.'

Mega-landlord settles with DOJ for Mass. price fixing claims
The U.S. Department of Justice and the landlord Greystar Management Services reached a deal to settle their legal fight over claims that the company used an algorithmic software to fix rental prices. Why it matters: Greystar, the nation's largest landlord, runs apartment complexes across Massachusetts, including in Brighton, Revere and East Boston. The big picture: The price fixing allegations come as the state grapples with a worsening housing crisis, partly due to limited housing supply. Catch up quick: Six states and the DOJ sued the company behind the rent-setting software, Texas-based RealPage, last year, accusing the company of illegal price fixing and monopolization. Massachusetts and Illinois then joined an amended version of the lawsuit that named South Carolina-based Greystar and five other landlords. They accused the six landlords of colluding to raise rents across their properties, relying on RealPage's software. State of play: Greystar agreed in the settlement to stop using any "anticompetitive algorithm" that sets rental prices using competitors' sensitive pricing data, per the settlement. The company also agreed to stop sharing its own sensitive information with competitors, stop attending RealPage's meetings convening competing landlords, accept a court-appointed monitor and cooperate with part of the federal legal fight against RealPage. By the numbers: A White House report estimates that renters whose landlords used RealPage's algorithm paid an additional $70 a month on average in 2023. For Boston-area renters, the cost was $79 a month, per the analysis. The report happened independently of the multi-state lawsuit. That lawsuit didn't specify which Greystar properties used the algorithm. What they're saying: Greystar didn't admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The company said in a statement that it "firmly believes that its use of RealPage's revenue management software complies with all applicable laws." "We entered into these settlements to make clear the government's interpretation of the law and to ensure we continue to do things the right way," the company wrote. Flashback: A 2022 ProPublica story revealed that RealPage worked with landlords to set rents nationwide in what legal experts said "may be artificially inflating rents and stifling competition." When the multi-state lawsuit began, RealPage refuted the allegations about its software with a six-page statement, saying landlords set their own prices and that RealPage "helps ensure that prospective residents have access to the best pricing available." One other landlord, Cortland, agreed to a settlement after being named in the amended lawsuit earlier this year.

Meta spent $27 million protecting Mark Zuckerberg last year, more than any other CEO
The targeted murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December put the business world on alert. Companies beyond the insurance and healthcare industries began ramping up security for founders and CEOs, worried that Thompson's death (and some of the public's reaction to it), along with rising cyberattacks and death threats, could increase real-world risks for any business leader. That has led to a substantial increase in security spending, and a new study from the Financial Times finds that no company is spending more to protect its CEO than Meta. Security spending was up more than 10% last year at the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with $27 million spent to protect Mark Zuckerberg—$3 million more than in 2023. 'We believe that Mr. Zuckerberg's role puts him in a unique position: He is synonymous with Meta and, as a result, negative sentiment regarding our company is directly associated with, and often transferred to, Mr. Zuckerberg,' the company says in its 2025 proxy statement. Google parent Alphabet and Amazon also saw increases of more than 10% in protection costs last year. Altogether, the 10 major tech firms spent more than $45 million to protect their leaders. Meta's spending dwarfed all others. The next highest was Alphabet, which allocated $6.8 million to protect Sundar Pichai. Coinbase spent nearly as much, dedicating $6.2 million to guard CEO Brian Armstrong. The big question on many minds, though, is how much is being spent to protect Elon Musk, arguably the most polarizing of the tech CEOs. The answer isn't entirely clear. Only one of his companies, Tesla, is public, and it disclosed spending $500,000 to protect Musk last year (down from $2.4 million in 2023). SpaceX and xAI are private and did not disclose figures. Musk also owns his own security company, Foundation Security—described as a mini Secret Service, run in part by a former Army special forces weapons sergeant. While some companies have boosted spending, others have scaled back, perhaps due to one-time expenses in previous years. Here's what other corporations reported: Nvidia: $3.5 million to protect CEO Jensen Huang, up from $2.2 million in 2023 Apple: $1.4 million for Tim Cook, down from $2.4 million in 2023 Amazon: $1.1 million for CEO Andy Jassy, and $1.6 million for Jeff Bezos, an amount consistent for at least 15 years Palo Alto Networks: $1.6 million for CEO Nikesh Arora, down from $3.5 million in 2023 JPMorgan: $882,000 for CEO Jamie Dimon, up slightly from $866,000 in 2023 Some companies declined to break out their security costs but offered hints. Fox, for example, said it was spending more to protect CEO Lachlan Murdoch as partisanship grows. Lockheed Martin now requires its CEO to fly exclusively on private corporate jets. And Alex Karp, CEO of AI and military intelligence company Palantir, always travels with at least four bodyguards. For some executives, the threat is very real, and not always tied to corporate activities. Musk, for example, told shareholders last year: 'We actually did have two homicidal maniacs in the last roughly seven months come to aspirationally try to kill me.' The number of businesses protecting their CEOs continues to rise. Intelligence firm Equilar found that 34.4% of companies in the S&P 500 offered executive security last year, compared to just 28.2% in 2023. Median spending rose 6% overall, with an average of $105,749.
