12. How rich is George Soros?
So, how much can a hedge fund manager make? In 2016, George Soros made around $300 million. How about that?
Unlike Carlos Slim Helu who basically owns all vital business sectors in Mexico, Soros just manages hedge fund. Soros Fund Management is his main source of income. This is where he got his $300 million a year. But through this business, he has bagged around $25.2 billion of estimated net worth.
With such wealth, it should come as no surprise that Soros is one of the richest men in the world. Forbes currently ranked him as the 19th richest. And through our research, he is the 4th richest self-made billionaire who was once poor.
Unlike Bill Gates and Warren Buffett who pledged to give away most of their wealth when they pass away, Soros doesn’t seem to be interested. So, his five children will inherit his billions and the money-making engine that has been producing them.
