Profits boom at top 20 funds including TCI, Citadel, Viking and Pershing Square thanks to rebound in stock markets
Billionaire hedge fund managers Chris Hohn and Ken Griffin led the industry to record profits last year as bets on the stock market paid off handsomely for clients.
The top 20 hedge fund managers made $67bn (£53bn) in profits for investors in 2023, as the industry made combined profits of $218bn, topping the previous record of $65bn set in 2021.
TCI Fund Management, which is run by British billionaire Hohn, who paid himself $346m last year, topped the list making $12.9bn for clients.
Citadel, founded by the US billionaire Ken Griffin, who has been involved in a bid for the Telegraph newspaper with the co-owner of GB News, ranked second, making $8.1bn.
There’s levels to everything. I’d say Bezos, Devos, Koch, Waltons are far far worse and have done massive damage to our country.
Every year or so I get an order at work from Koch. They suck so very hard at engineering but they have so much money. It took me a while to notice it but every “engineer” I worked with over there was super good at giving you the impression that they knew what they were doing but didn’t infact know. Their paperwork looks great, they talk a great talk And that is where it ends.
Just in case this insight is useful to you since you rightfully hate Koch.
I hate them for starting the Tea Party and starting us down the path of Trump insanity.
