How One Hedge Fund Manager Became Worth $4 Billion (Bill Ackman)

Описание: Bill Ackman is one of the most successful and controversial hedge fund managers on Wall Street. With a net worth exceeding four billion dollars, he's built an empire through aggressive activist investing, massive concentrated bets, and an unwavering belief in his own analysis. But his journey to the top wasn't without devastating failures.

Starting with just fifty-four million dollars after his first fund collapsed, Ackman launched Pershing Square Capital Management in 2004 and turned it into one of the most successful hedge funds in the world. He made hundreds of millions on companies like Wendy's and Target, over a billion dollars on General Growth Properties during the financial crisis, and an incredible two point six billion dollars on a single COVID-19 trade in 2020.

But Ackman has also suffered spectacular losses. He lost nearly five hundred million on JC Penney after pushing for a disastrous CEO change. His war against Herbalife, which he called a pyramid scheme, cost him close to a billion dollars over six years and sparked an epic public battle with billionaire Carl Icahn.

From his Harvard MBA to founding Gotham Partners, from the MBIA short that made him famous to the activist campaigns that changed corporate America, this is the complete story of how Bill Ackman built his wealth through conviction, controversy, and the courage to make billion-dollar bets when everyone else doubted him.
