Sample Book Insights:

#2 After the war, the Kushner family struggled to adjust to life in America. Their children lived a little bit of their lives, as their parents were constantly hiding.
#3 The Kushner family motto is Think like an immigrant, act like an immigrant, but what does that mean. The Kushners, who were survivors of the Holocaust, were taught that rules are for others. They didn't wait for the Nazis to come and liquidate them; they built a tunnel and escaped the ghetto.

#3

The Kushner family motto is Think like an immigrant, act like an immigrant, but what does that mean. The Kushners, who were survivors of the Holocaust, were taught that rules are for others. They didn't wait for the Nazis to come and liquidate them; they built a tunnel and escaped the ghetto.

#4

Charlie gradually took over his father’s business, and as he acquired more and more office space, he moved from a small basement office into two floors in Florham Park, New Jersey. He stenciled the names of senior executives on parking spots outside.

#5

Charlie was now the head of the family. He turned an industrial building into the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy and Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School. He built the local mikvah and named it after Seryl’s grandmother Chana.

#6

Charlie’s business success allowed him to buy whatever he wanted, and he became known for his lavish lifestyle. He also became involved in politics, mostly to support Democrats. His most significant foray into politics was with New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey, with whom he developed an intense friendship.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Charlie began building an empire for his son, Jared, to inherit. Charlie's public profile became more and more visible as he began inviting politicians to speak at his office and off-site conferences.

#2

Charlie used LLC money to cover his political and charitable contributions, without informing the LLC’s partners. He also used letter codes to flag misapplied expenses to have some idea of how the buildings were performing, as it was otherwise difficult to know.

#3

Charlie became a increasingly brutal CEO. The Tuesday meetings became known as the Tuesday beatings. No one was supposed to go to the restroom during one, even though the meetings could run as long as three hours.

#4

Charlie Kushner, Jared's father, took an interest in his unsentimental education. He was less concerned with his daughters' academic results, however, and often asked Kevin Swill, the president of Westminster Capital Associates, to visit Jared to take him out to dinner and report back.

#5

Murray sued Charlie in 2001, seeking a review of business records. Behind the scenes, he was helped by Esther, who was friendly with Bob Yontef, an accounting manager who had joined Kushner Companies in 1999. Yontef told Esther that he had seen much in the office that troubled him.

#6

In 2001, Jim McGreevey was elected governor of New Jersey, and he appointed Charlie’s lover, Golan Cipel, as his homeland security adviser. Charlie was so impressed by his lofty perch in the world that Kushner Companies hired a young writer to chronicle the extraordinary life of Charles Kushner. But Charlie never got to properly accept the Port Authority job.
