Still spending money for the benefit of New Yorkers, still supporting the arts. But not bragging about it.
It’s the Perelman Performing Arts Center, But Bloomberg Gave More
It looked like it was never going to happen. Year after year, plans to build a cultural institution on the World Trade Center site percolated, only to then fizzle out. The International Freedom Center, the Joyce Theater, the Drawing Center, the Signature Theater, New York City Opera, a design by Frank Gehry — all were discussed as possibilities, but none went anywhere.
Now, two decades after the 2003 master plan for ground zero called for a cultural component, a performing arts center is finally preparing to open there in September. And although it bears the name of Ronald O. Perelman, the billionaire businessman who jump-started the moribund project in 2016 by announcing a $75 million donation, the person who finally got the project over the finish line, and who ended up giving more money than Perelman, is Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor.
Bloomberg has given $130 million to the arts center, a gift that has not been previously revealed. https://artdaily.com/news/158145/It-...berg-gave-more
I’ve seen him at corporate events, heard speeches on and off microphone.
Very capable and no nonsense man.
Would have been a great president but unfortunately the system of circus that we have is setup for circus shows full of clowns and Mike is no clown.

Unfortunately , a circus is what the people want so that's what we have.
He badly screwed up his Presidential run. If he played it correctly, he could have won, but he didn't.
