Age: 61

Country: United States 

Industry: Hedge funds 

Source of wealth: Self-made; Appaloosa Management 

Tepper founded his hedge fund, Appaloosa Management in 1993, and now manages $15 billion. 

Tepper bought the NFL's Carolina Panthers professional football team for $2.3 billion earlier this year. 

In September, Tepper said that his firm had reduced its holdings of US stocks.

"If you ask me what inning we're in, I think it's a late-innings game," Tepper, who manages about $14 billion in assets, told CNBC of the nine-year bull market in stocks.

Appaloosa in May disclosed it had sold its entire stake in Apple, which had previously made up more than 7% of its portfolio. 

The fund is also pushing for change at pharma company Allergan.

Country: US

Industry: Hedge funds

Source of wealth: Self-made; Point72 Asset Management 

Steve Cohen for years ran SAC Capital, one of the most successful hedge funds ever. Cohen was forced to shut down SAC after the firm pleaded guilty to insider trading charges. He launched Point72 Asset Management and started taking outside capital in 2018 after running it previously as a family office. He now manages $13 billion.

Earlier this year, a female employee, Lauren Bonner, filed a lawsuit alleging widespread gender discrimination at the fund, including stark wage discrepancies between men and women for the same work. Doug Haynes, the firm's former president and a former McKinsey executive who was named in the suit, left soon after. Bonner's lawsuit was dismissed in federal court last week, and will now be arbitrated.
