But recently, we also learned that the power of this streetwear juggernaut takes more forms than one. As political comedian Hasan Minhaj pointed out in an episode of his Netflix show, Patriot Act, the largest investor in Supreme is none other than the Carlyle Group—arguably one of the shadowiest of players in international private equity, which is already a field so shadowy it's basically the Mordor of finance.
