Since there has been some talk here about a certain ashtanga

practicing hedge fund manager featured in a New York

magazine article here is a report from Institutional Investor on

what the top hedge fund magagers made last year...

 

-----------------------------

The top earner was Soros, who pocketed $700 million even

though he only had a 13 percent return on his fund last year.

Soros, who manages $7 billion, is said to give away over $500

million a year to charity. So he still had $200 million left over to

play with.

 

Among the other top earners are:

 

* Bruce Kovner. With assets estimated at $5.5 billion, the

chairman of Juilliard's board of trustees paid himself $500

million, Institutional Investor reports. But his Caxton Corp. fund

managed to gain 30 percent.

 

* Edward Lampert. The wunderkind of the markets, Lampert's

Greenwich-based ESL Investments, was up by a jaw-dropping

53 percent - justifying his $445 million in earnings. Almost 85

percent of Lampert's $5 billion portfolio is concentrated in fewer

than 10 stocks, including AutoZone. Go figure.

 

* Steven Cohen. This day-trader commands exceptionally high

fees due to the fact that he hasn't had a return of less than 30

percent in seven years. In 2001, he outdid himself with his $3.7

billion fund and gave himself a $428 million pat on the back.

 

* David Tepper. The New Jersey head of Appaloosa

management congratulated himself on 67 percent returns for his

$969 million fund by boosting his bank account by $225 million.

 

* Ken Griffin. The CEO of Chicago-based Citadel Investment

Group is one of the few who doesn't pay himself 10 percent,

settling for a modest 4 percent commission. But Griffin, who

manages $7 billion, managed to net $215 million by the end of

last year. And watch out: Griffin has hired several former Enron

traders to help start up an energy trading business.

 

* James Simon.This Long Islander's Renaissance

Technologies Corp. racked up 33 percent in gains - leading to a

$200 million payout.

 

And finally, rounding out the club are Richard Perry of Perry

Capital, who gave himself a $138 million payout, and

Bermuda-based Munroe Trout of Trout Trading management

Co., who banked $100 million.

Interesting, but what exactly do you mean? That because a fellow

makes 700 million a year, he can't be a real yogi? Well, now that

you mention it...

Interesting how those who never make that kind of money act like they

know how it feels to deny that position. How many here can actually

be in such an unenlightening position and turn it down?
