Jim Simons is the world’s richest mathematician. Forbes estimates his wealth to be at a staggering $24.6b currently. Jim Simons gained most of this wealth through conquering the world of trading by starting the “quant revolution” with his company Renaissance Technologies and the Medallion fund. The Medallion fund has the best track-record of any hedge fund in history. It has averaged a 62.9% return per year before fees, and 37.2% net of fees, verses 11% for the S&P 500. That is the most impressive investment record I’ve ever heard about, it’s even better than Warren Buffett’s, although it has been accomplished with a much smaller capital.

My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here.
