George Soros

I wanted to mention this gentleman for a while. He's best well known as the man who broke the Bank of England. His Quantum fund was behind the huge short selling of British Pound on the 16th September 1992, that brought it onto its knees.

Other than that instead of me repeating information that is already out there, definitely check out wikipedia article or much better the numerous books he wrote. In short, Soros is a philantroper, phylosopher and a successfull fund investor.

What I like about this guy are his thoughtfull insides into current issues. He's also a man who is not scared to stand up for the right thing he believes into. Soros also acknowledges that he can be wrong and doesn't make an issue of it but accepts the world as it is, that it is full of biased opinions.

Check out some of his interviews available online:
