Bloomberg's daughter flew here following book launch

The youngest daughter of multi-millionaire New York mayor Michael Bloomberg flew to her home in Bermuda after the publication of her novel about a Wall Street tycoon and his family.

Georgina Bloomberg did just one interview before publication of The A Circuit before leaving for Bermuda with friends.

The professional show jumper told a New York newspaper: “My publicist told me I’m the only author who leaves town the day her book comes out.”

Both Michael Bloomberg and Georgina own houses close to each other in Tucker’s Town.

The Bloomberg family guards its privacy and insiders abide by a code of silence about Mr Bloomberg and his two daughters.

The novel — aimed at young adults — tells the story of heiress Tommi Aaranson, a gifted equestrian, her academic high-flyer sister Callie and their hard-nosed tycoon father David.

Tommi clashes with both her sister and her father during the course of the book.

Ms Bloomberg’s sister Emma, 32, is a Princeton graduate and worked for her father in politics.

During the sole interview, Ms Bloomberg, 28, said the book reflected her experiences in the show-jumping world and was not a portrait of her own family — although she admitted she had drawn on her own life experience for the novel.

She said: “Yes, okay, a lot of people could see similarities.”

But she added the book was about a young woman’s fight to prove herself to her family and her struggles to be accepted as a showjumper, despite her family’s fortune.

She said: “I think that’s something that hopefully people see as a kind of universal idea, not just something that’s ‘Oh, this is about Georgina and her father’.

And she said she had not asked for her father’s permission to write the book or consulted him as she worked on it.

Ms Bloomberg said: “It’s not like I showed him, you know, versions for him to edit. I didn’t really ask him for his permission.”

In a statement, Mr Bloomberg – who has occasionally grumbled about his daughter’s commitment to an equestrian career - said he had read the book, but declined to discuss the character of David Aaranson.

He added: “I’ve long been proud of Georgina’s accomplishments in and out of the show ring and now I’m proud of her work behind the computer.”
