Talking Tycoons: Tom Cousins & Jacob Chetrit


Listen Later

This week, we break down the outsized life & career of seminal Atlanta developer Tom Cousins: skyline-shaper, quail hunter, Ted Turner lender, Buffett buddy – an honest-to-goodness Man in Full. We trace his origins from selling tract homes to setting the stage for the modern Atlanta skyline, and examine his broader cultural impact on real estate. We then dive into the zany case of the late CRE mogul Jacob Chetrit, who left behind just $500K in cash but $800M in CRE stakes – that estate is now the focus of fierce litigation among name-brand NYC players from Richard Mack to Maverick.
