Financial World The Wall Street 100 By Stephen Taub, David Carey, Amy Barrett, Richard J. Coletti and Jackie Gold July 10, 1990 Page 70 No. 61 Stanley Druckenmiller At least $10 million With George Soros running around Eastern Europe trying to make the world safer for capitalism, Druckenmiller, 36, is one of the key people running Quantum Fund. One of seven managing directors of Soros Fund Management, he is married to Dreyfus manager Fiona Biggs, niece of Morgan Stanley bigwig Barton Biggs. They met while they were both at Pittsburgh National Bank, where he rose from analyst to director of investments in 1980 at the tender age of 27. The following year he started Duquesne Capital with just $1 million. In 1985, he became a consultant to Dreyfus and lived in New York City two days each week. Moved there full-time when he was named head of the Dreyfus Fund. Jumped to Soros in 1988. Once dreamed of being an English or economics professor, which explains BAs in both subjects from Bowdoin College. Dropped out of a three-year Ph.D. program in economics at University of Michigan in the middle of second semester. Gambling is in his blood. Has played poker since he was 11, and is said to have hardly ever lost in college. Moved often as a kid, but spend nine years in Richmond, VA. streetstories.com

anyone know if Stanley Druckenmiller, who blew 5 billion of Soros' investors cash, used to work for Ron Perelman?? I didn't know that but I do recall several of Soros's funds had stock in Amati and feasted at both ends of the table. That he (they) finally got caught with too many forks in too many pies doesn't elicit much sympathy. And, Sprect, thanks for the kind words yesterday. You know I'm not out to slay any dragons. Just trying to keep the playing field level. Pat
