Leon Cooperman is a well-known billionaire hedge fund manager, and although he does manage money on behalf of a few clients, the bulk of his hedge fund's assets are his own money.
Cooperman started his investment career at Goldman Sachs, where he spent 25 years in increasing leadership roles, including a stretch as chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Impressively, he didn't start his private investment partnership, Omega Advisors, until retiring from Goldman Sachs in 1991.
