“To others, being wrong is a source of shame; to me, recognizing my mistakes is a source of pride. Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.”
George Soros (born August 12, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian-American investor, philanthropist, political activist, and author. He's one of the world's most successful financiers and his investment prowess has been acknowledged worldwide. Here's a brief overview of his background and some of his achievements:
- Early Life: Soros was born in Hungary and survived the Nazi occupation during World War II. In 1947, he fled communist-dominated Hungary for England.
- Education: He studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) and became acquainted with the work of philosopher Karl Popper, whose ideas on open society deeply influenced Soros.
- Financial Career:
- In the 1960s, he started his investment career in New York City and in 1973, he established the Soros Fund Management.
- He is best known for "breaking the Bank of England" in 1992. Soros made a bold bet against the British pound, believing it was overvalued. His speculation turned out to be correct, earning his fund a reported $1 billion and forcing the U.K. to devalue its currency and withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
