When a Million-Dollar Bet Defined Wall Street's Soul
John Gutfreund, the self-proclaimed "King of Wall Street," strolled across the trading floor of Salomon Brothers with a challenge that would define an era. "One hand, one million dollars, no tears," he said to John Meriwether, the firm's most legendary bond trader. He wanted to play Liar's Poker-a bluffing game involving dollar bill serial numbers-for stakes that would make most people's eyes water. This wasn't just a game. It was a power play between titans, a test of dominance in a world where testosterone and risk-taking mattered more than spreadsheets or strategy. Meriwether, brilliant as always, saw the trap immediately. Lose and he's out a million. Win and he's humiliated his boss. His response? "No, John, if we're going to play for those kinds of numbers, I'd rather play for real money. Ten million dollars. No tears." Gutfreund smiled his forced smile and declined. This moment in 1986 perfectly captured Salomon's culture-a place where the line between gambling and investing had blurred beyond recognition, where becoming a "Big Swinging Dick" was the ultimate goal, and where making obscene amounts of money was the only measure of worth.
