    1. Yeah, like Eric and Don Jr. and Ivanka toiled away for decades in the bowels of the family business before ascending to senior positions of authority. Oh wait, even the old man didn’t even pay the dues either. No double standards there.

    2. @Brent, without a doubt, none of the Trump or Biden kids earned their station in life, and yes, Trump inherited his daddy’s money. What does that have to with this story or my comment?

  1. He’s young,intellegent,RICH and single. I think it would be smart to groom him to one day take over the family business.its a no brainer if hes as qualified as they feel he is. Hope he has the insight to bring the company into the future of what retail shopping will look like 10-20yrs from now. I wish him nothing and the company nothing but success. I also hope hes a huge PACER fan and willing to keep the team in Indy

  2. This is one reason the Simons aren’t very open with the press. Thirty-three years old and starting at the top of the ladder with a $1.5 million yearly salary is only newsworthy because of how ridiculous it is. Mercy.

  3. His rise to this level of responsibility and compensation at such a young age is fascinating and inspiring for all young business leaders. Undoubtedly the results are an example-hard work, dedication and GRIT separating this Simon from others!

  4. I always wonder about people born into great wealth and if their happy? Is he a fortunate young man to have so much at a young age or will it prove to be a curse? Hopefully he is both rich and happy or it’s all for naught.
