Hey, how’s everyone doing out there? On today’s show, we’re going to be talking about one of our favorite investors, Mr. Stanley Druckenmiller. 

Mr. Druckenmiller was born in 1953 and he’s been in the investment world since dropping out of his PhD program at the University of Michigan in 1977. He took a job at the Pittsburgh National Bank. After only one year, he became the head of the bank’s equity research group and by 1981, Mr. Druckenmiller formed Duquesne Capital Management. 

Then in 1988, he was hired by George Soros to work at the Quantum Fund. This is when Stanley became a household name because he famously broke the Bank of England by shorting the British pound and realizing a billion dollar gain. 

In addition to being one of the smartest investors in the world, Mr. Druckenmiller is also a philanthropist. He has donated in excess of a billion dollars. Without further delay, here’s our coverage of Mr. Stanley Druckenmiller.
