Living a decadent life filled with exotic drugs, music festivals and Daddy's credit card, the trust fund hippy leads quite a lavish existence. A delusional breed of trust fund babies inspired by ideals of free-love, artistic expression and environmental conservatism, these particularly abhorrent hypocrites usually amount to nothing more than lazy acid-loving potheads who refuse to to recognize their place in society as cash-cows for largely unoriginal music acts fueled by new age technology, massively oversized speakers and lightshows so over-the-top and spectacular that the true hippies of the '60's and '70's probably would have enlisted in 'Nam just to see them set to Pink Floyd. Tell a trust fund hippy that a life of live music and drugs inherently requires a significant financial backing simply not available to 99% of people in the world and you'll be met with outright anger and denial. They will tell you their lifestyle is about mind-opening experiences and spreading peace and love as they take a drag of Cali's finest weed on the way to Coachella where they'll make about 5 videos commemorating the weekend on their latest version of the iPhone.
Trust fund hippy 1: Dude, I ate 5 grams of shrooms last night and realized something.
Normal human being: What?
Trust fund Hippy: Life is beautiful, man.
Normal human being: Yeah, it should be if your parents give you money to smoke weed all day, party all night and go to like 5 music festivals a year, douche.
Trust fund hippy: Dude! I'm just careful with my allowance and save it for things I really like! Don't be a dick, man!
Normal human being: I hate everything about you

(FINANCE) business entity formed to pool money provided by investors in order to buy majority stakes in existing companies. A common practice is to then "take the company private," so that it no longer has shares trading on the stock market. The company is then restructured, so that it has entirely different management practices, or a different business strategy. Afterward, the PE fund will most likely re-sell the company on the stock market in a sponsored IPO.
Private equity funds are usually limited liability partnerships (LLPs), which gives them special privileges of nondisclosure; most are organized in the State of Delaware. PEF's have sponsors, or "principals," who are responsible for organizing the fund and recruiting other investors.
Among the best-known PE funds are Blackstone Group*, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR)*, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners*, Carlyle Group, Permira, Apollo Management, Providence Equity, TPG Capital, Warburg Pincus, and Cerberus. Companies marked with an asterisk (*) are publically listed corporations; most PE funds are pivately managed. The selection above includes the largest ones by capital under management.
