George Soros

Founder, Soros Fund Management~$7.5B (after giving $32B+)

Reflexivity & the macro strike

Markets don't just reflect reality — they change it. Soros's reflexivity means finding the feedback loop the crowd hasn't seen, then betting bigger than anyone thinks sane. The man who broke the Bank of England has given most of the fortune away; the family office still runs the playbook.

The pillars

Reflexivity: prices change the fundamentals they're supposed to reflect
When you're right, size is everything
Survive first — 'it's not whether you're right, but how much you make when right'

Signature moves

Shorted the pound in 1992 — $10B position, $1B profit in a day, broke the Bank of England
Gave $32B+ to Open Society Foundations — the largest living transfer to philanthropy

The tax playbook

Editorialstrategies widely reported around Soros — never tax advice

The great foundation transfer

Moving $18B to Open Society in one 2017 stroke — appreciated fund interests, not cash — avoided embedded gains and generated one of history's largest charitable deductions.

Deferred-fee compounding (closed door)

For decades offshore-fund managers could defer their own performance fees untaxed — Soros reportedly compounded billions this way before Congress closed the window in 2017. Historical, and instructive.
