John Thain's $87,000 Rug
In a Daily Beast/CNBC exclusive, Charlie Gasparino reveals how CIT’s new CEO, John Thain, spent over $1 million and hired the Obamas' decorator to redecorate his office at Merrill Lynch in 2008—even as the firm faced a financial crisis. After this story was originally posted last January, he announced plans to repay Merrill for the renovations.
In early 2008, just as Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain was preparing to slash expenses, cut thousands of jobs and exit businesses to fix the ailing securities firm, he was also spending company money on himself, senior people at the firm say.
According to documents reviewed by The Daily Beast, Thain spent $1.22 million of company money to refurbish his office at Merrill Lynch headquarters in lower Manhattan. The biggest piece of the spending spree: $800,000 to hire famed celebrity designer Michael Smith, who is currently redesigning the White House for the Obama family for just $100,000.
Big ticket items included $87,000 for an area rug, four pairs of curtains for $28,000, a pair of guest chairs for $87,000 and fabric for a "Roman Shade" for $11,000.
