KKR Founders Sued for Allegedly Getting Giant Payday for No Work; Lawsuit adds to legal scrutiny of arcane tax deals benefiting private-equity heavyweights Ben Foldy – The Wall Street Journal When Henry Kravis and George Roberts handed off the day-to-day management of private-equity firm KKR KKR to their successors in 2021, the two billionaires netted shares now worth more than $650 million. A new lawsuit is accusing the company of paying Kravis and Roberts but getting nothing in return. Their windfalls came from a complicated financial structure that has netted billions of dollars for other company founders and dealmakers in similar transactions. /jlne.ws/4dw2xel
