Griffin has been on my list from day 1- like he’s the 32nd
richest person in the world with a net worth of $60 billion, but
I was in no real rush to cover him, until about 2 weeks ago when
I finally got round to watching Dumb Money- the movie about the
GameStop short squeeze-and it’s a pretty good movie.

But in the film the 2 or 3 times when Griffin's name is
mentioned, it’s followed by the word “prick”- so that got me
really interested- is he that bad or is it simply jealously as a
result of his success because, even compared to the other Masters
of Universe on Wall, Griffin is seriously successful- his hedge
fund is the most successful hedge fund ever in history, but even
more than that he has a second separate business, a securities
business, and it trades more than $170 trillion worth of
securities a year making it one of the biggest trading businesses
in the world- how did he get to where he is - this is a
fascinating story- enjoy
