As high rollers that constantly enjoy the spotlight of the media, it's no surprise that the bonds of friendship have formed between some financiers and celebrities.
The acquaintances have formed through business partnerships, working in the same charitable causes, or everyone's favorite past time: partying.
So from Jay-Z's friendship with Warren Buffett to Paul Tudor Jones' hunting trips with NY Giants' Justin Tuck, here are some of the friendships between Wall Streeters and celebrities.
Warren Buffett and Jay-Z
The Oracle of Omaha and hip hop mogul have made various public appearances together. Earlier this month, Warren Buffett was spotted at Jay-Z's New York nightclub when the rapper made his first public appearance after the birth of his daughter. Last year, the two teamed up to start a financial literacy project for kids called The Money Coach. Also, they're adorable on video together.
Dan Loeb and Fab 5 Freddy
Fab 5 Freddy, an iconic hip hop and graffiti artist in the 1980s, became friends with the now-famed hedge funder when Loeb was just getting his start in the New York financial industry and making his way through society circles.
