Soros’s life is extraordinary. A Jewish teenager who survived the
Nazi occupation, fled communist Hungary with almost nothing, and
went on to build one of the most remarkable investing careers in
modern history.

We’re talking about some of the boldest trades ever made. In his
most famous bet — the one that led to the label “the man who
broke the Bank of England” — Soros personally made around $650
million.

But the money is only part of the story. He also gave away
roughly $32 billion, becoming one of the most polarising figures
in finance and politics.

And while we’ll touch on that controversy, this episode is really
about the trades — how he thought, how he positioned, and why
they were so extraordinary. I love this story

Enjoy.
