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.
