Calvin Darden Jr. experienced a meteoric rise as a broker in top financial institutions in the early 2000s, supported by his privileged background and extensive celebrity connections. With an apartment on Wall Street and relationships with influential figures, he blended business with socializing. He amassed a roster of celebrity investors, providing them with financial advice that often came with significant risk. Darden's charm and charisma made him a notable figure in both finance and social circles, leading to his eventual move from Wall Street to an affluent mansion in Glen Cove.
"I was trying to hook him up with my sister because he was a young entrepreneur," said Cheryl James, the Salt in Salt-N-Pepa. He was also friends with Star Jones's boyfriend, a broker at Merrill Lynch who helped him gain access to star-studded weddings and the business that followed.
"He was charming," said Mystik Dasilva. "He had a great personality. He was fun."
