He’s a canny bond guru and hopes to score a good deal with the devil.
In this case, it’s the devil(s) who looted the posh estate of bond titan Jeffrey Gundlach of nine artworks worth more than $10 million, plus five luxury watches, bottles of fine wine and even his 2010 red Porsche Carrera 4S, said Santa Monica, Calif., cops.
The 52-year-old head of DoubleLine Capital and its $32 billion bond fund yesterday offered $1.5 million for the return of his valuables, or about 15 cents on the dollar of their reported value in the police report.
The thefts occurred last week while Gundlach was out of town.
Gundlach staged a news conference yesterday to appeal especially for the return of his two most prized pieces, by Piet Mondrian and Jasper Johns.
The financier said he’d pay $200,000 — no questions asked — just for a solid lead to locate any of his goodies.
He also offered $1 million for returning the Mondrian, undamaged, and put a $500,000 bounty on the small, green Johns piece.
