Michael Batnick of The Irrelevant Investor, put together this awesome chart of the most important investors of all time.
It includes “traders, investors, hedge fund managers, Nobel laureates, economists, and early pioneers of portfolio management.” Some of these people aren’t known as investors, but pioneered how we think about investing, such as psychologist Daniel Kahneman.
I think it provides a neat overview of people who might be worth studying. Standouts include Warren Buffett, George Soros, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Daniel Kahneman.
