Not for his investing style, but for personality Bill Ackman. Most charming motherfucker on the planet
Carl Icahn, incredibly intelligent, innovator, he was one of the first who went the raider/activist route. He went to war basically alone, especially in the beginning years with well known companiess boards. Also his track record has been astouding 31% annual rate of return from 1968 until 2011. He also makes no bones about who he is or what he does which I personally respect a lot, especially these days.
Have you seen the new documentary yet?
Yeah definitely worth the watch, I also read to the book about him King Icahn, the writer is also in the doc.
I hate Carl Icahn. He's the embodiment of every negative Wall Street stereotype. Might be because I have a soft spot for airlines. Dude wishes he could fuck with Zucky but could never due to FB share classes.
Weak, man is a legend and impressive track record
I like Mark Cuban. He is someone I would like to work with.
The guy who designed the macro aspect of the coolest ETF at our firm (I say this as part of a firm with way too many of them. If I dropped the number you'd know who we are-and yes one of them is one of the big liquidity ones for the fast money, we need to carve out it's billions of flows per day for the reports.) His design has been a rockstar across all equity universes. It's also made his multi-asset FoF look great. Is it passive? Theoretically, but at 200% annual turnover ummmmm....
Sorry, editing issues on Chrome (can we fix this?)
He's also a cool guy IRL.
Kevin O'Leary

David Einhorn ? Like his style and how his team puts comics in their outright ugly research notes.
Howard Marks
I haven't read any of his books yet, but I really like his memos a lot. His inquisitive perspective feels really refreshing to me.
George Soros. The left and the right at various times accused the man of destroying national banks and economies, funding a force of anarchist super soldiers who burn down cities at his will, rigging elections all over the world, and even being a Nazi. Regardless of his investing style or politics has there ever been an investor so infamous?
Probably Charlie Munger
Nick Sleep
Carl Icahn. The goat.
Does Donald Bren count? I feel like what he’s built over his career is amazing and not something that can be replicated easily.
Jim Rogers
Bill Ackman. He literally cried on CNBC saying the world was going to end in March 2020 while having short positions that he made a billion from after the market moved after his interview
