Julian Robertson Stacked 4.8 Billion Net Worth Before Death
Based on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Robertson’s estimated net worth was $4 billion at the time of his death.
In 1980, an investor from North Carolina founded Tiger Management in New York with $8.8 million. He was relatively old for starting his business at the time—48.
With annual profits averaging 32% by mid-1998, assets had risen to around $22 billion, giving him a reputation comparable to that of Michael Steinhardt and George Soros, two other prominent investors in the same field.
Investor Jim Chanos noted in an interview for “More Money Than God,” a 2010 book on hedge funds by Sebastian Mallaby, “If I had to donate my fortune to any of them, I would have given it to Robertson.” “I knew he knows stocks better than anyone.”
After seeing assets drop from $21 billion to $6 billion in 18 months due to losses and client withdrawals, Robertson disclosed in March 2000 that he was liquidating his six Tiger funds.
