For Fourth of July weekend 2015, Patrice de Colmont, theowner of Le Club 55 near St. Tropez, decorated his restaurant with U.S. and French flags. Among the wealthy Americans there nibbling crudites and sipping Domaines Ott was financier Tom Barrack, who'd brought employees from his investment firm, Colony Capital. Fellow titans stopped by his table to say hello, including Blackstone Group LP co-founder Stephen Schwarzman, former Citigroup Inc. Chairman Sandy Weill, and hedge fund manager Dan Loeb.Barrack had invited his deputies to the French Riviera to lay the groundwork for the Los Angeles-based firm's newest fund. Building on a history of dealmaking that included Fairmont Hotels; the Miramax film studio, co-founded by Harvey Weinstein; and Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, Barrack aimed to raise $2.5 billion to buy distressed European real estate assets and generate returns greater than 15 percent, a confidential investor pitch obtained by Bloomberg BusinessWeek shows. The conversations that weekend bubbled with optimism.
