Any famous investors or HF managers who were once bankers or traders - Who were once bankers or traders

Are there any famous investors or HF managers who were once bankers or traders?

I haven't been able to find or think of any, and none of Buffett, Soros, Gross, Icahn, Paulson, Simons, Graham, Lynch, Bogle, Robertson(?), Templeton and Ackman were traders or bankers before.

 

That list isn't an apples apples comparison of either getting into the industry or the industry itself from the time those guys got started to now.

"After you work on Wall Street it’s a choice, would you rather work at McDonalds or on the sell-side? I would choose McDonalds over the sell-side.” - David Tepper
 

Tepper lest GS after he didn't make partner.

He said this in a Bloomberg interview, so I'd guess he's still mad about it. “I left Goldman Sachs. I was thinking about going to another Wall Street place. I didn’t want to do that. That was crazy. After you work on Wall Street it’s a choice, would you rather work at McDonald’s or on the sell side? I would choose McDonald’s. Over the sell side.”
