The Oldest Money Managers

4. Nelson Peltz

Although this businessman dedicated most of his 72 years to buying and turning around companies like Snapple, or funding firms from scratch, like Triangle Industries, he’s been active as a fund manager since 2005. After creating Trian Fund Management, L.P., together with his partners Ed Garden and Peter May, the investing firm started purchasing stock in several companies, resulting in earnings of over $430 million just for 2013.
