Jim Rogers' Bio Rogers showed a penchant for
business at an early age. His career as an entrepreneur began at age 5
with selling peanuts and picking up empty bottles left behind at
baseball games in Alabama. After graduating from Yale University in 1964
with a bachelor's degree in history, Rogers headed to Wall Street and
worked as an investment banker, meeting future business partner and
billionaire George Soros.In 1973, Rogers and Soros started the legendary Quantum Fund, producing a staggering 4,200% return in the next 10 years while the S&P 500 gained just 42%. That incredible success early in his career enabled Rogers to retire at the age of 37.
Since then, Rogers has remained active as a private trader and investor, scoring several big wins along the way. He also wrote a well-received book, "Investment Biker," that chronicled his 1990 motorcycle trip around the world. -
