EMANUEL, WHO IN THE PAST HAS PURSUED reporters with the ardor of New York’s publicity-loving Sen. Charles Schumer — a legend in the annals of self-promotion — declines to discuss his rapid rise to riches. Nevertheless, in the spirit of Nancy Reagan’s unauthorized biographer Kitty Kelly, I will push on. When Emanuel left the White House in 1998 after five years as a senior adviser, political friends helped him land a job in the new Chicago office of investment-banking house Wasserstein Perella. Emanuel amassed a fortune partly because he was in the right place at the right time. Dresdner Kleinwort bought the business in 2000, and partners like Emanuel shared some of the profits.
He also worked for eight clients on behalf of the firm, and made millions in fees. His most outstanding deal was helping Chicago-based investment bank Goldner Rauner to purchase an alarm company called SecurityLink in December 2000 from SBC Communications, for $479 million. In June 2001, Goldner Rauner sold SecurityLink for $1 billion to Tyco (ticker: TYC), which was then run by Dennis Kozlowski.
