Mitt’s megabucks day with elite of Wall Street

MItt Romney will be rubbing shoulders with Wall Street tomorrow at three gang-buster fund-raisers in Manhattan, billed as Mitt’s “multimillion-dollar day” by sources. The presidential candidate, who has attracted top donors tired of President Obama’s anti-Wall Street rhetoric, will start his tour with a breakfast at Cipriani 42nd Street at $2,500 per head. Among the 80 co-hosts on the bill are Romney’s richest donor, hedge fund billionaire John Paulson, former Goldman Sachs chairman John Whitehead, Forstmann Little chairman Julian Robertson, Jets owner Woody Johnson, former candidate for governor of Connecticut Tom Foley, ex-Long Island congressman Rick Lazio, ex-Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, former George W. Bush senior Treasury official Emil Henry and former Navy Secretary John Lehman. Then, J.P. Morgan Chase vice chairman Jimmy Lee is hosting a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria. But the bank’s rep tells us J.P. Morgan Chase chairman and former Obama ally Jamie Dimon will not be attending. Later in the evening, Steve Schwarzman, founder of Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity firm, is hosting a more intimate event at his Park Avenue home with CEO Tom Hill, Third Point founder Dan Loeb, former Chris Christie backer and hedge fund honcho Paul Singer and former SEC chairman Richard Breeden.
