Large position success stories

After having recently read about large HF positions in the news (TCI's $6B stake in GOOG, Elliott's $3B stake in Softbank, Elliott's $2B stake in PYPL, Third Point's $1B stake in DIS, TGM's $2B stake in JD), curious what others think the greatest large investments are. In addition, any best practices in managing such a large position? Any insights would be appreciated.
