About Me

George Roberts cofounded KKR with his cousin, Henry Kravis, and Jerome Kohlberg (d. 2015) in 1976. Kravis and Roberts gave up their co-CEO titles in 2021; both now serve as executive co-chairs. Kohlberg left the firm in 1987. The duo took KKR public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010 and converted it into a corporation in 2018. The firm is known for the 1988 buyout of RJR Nabisco, chronicled in the book "Barbarians At The Gate." KKR has some more than 250 portfolio companies and more than $650 billion in assets under management, making it one of the five largest private equity firms in the world
