The Oldest Money Managers

2. George Soros

At 84 years of age, George Soros is one of the oldest money managers still active on Wall Street, at the hand of his hedge fund, Soros Fund Management. The finance mogul founded his company in 1969, after graduating from the London School of Economics, and has demonstrated time after time that he knows how to run the stock market. Although Soros had a difficult childhood, having had to flee from the Nazi occupation in his home country Hungary, he’s proven to have guts as an investor on several occasions. Making a $1 billion profit by conducting a short sale of $10 billion worth of pounds during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis was just one of them.
