Jim Rogers is an author, financial commentator, and international investor. After studying at Yale and Oxford University, he co-founded the Quantum Fund, a global-investment partnership. Over the next 10 years, the portfolio gained an impressive 4200%, while the S&P rose by less than 50%. Rogers decided to retire at the age of 37.
Rogers continued to manage his own portfolio and kept busy as a full professor of finance at Columbia University Graduate School of Business. From 1989 to 1990, he moderated WCBS’s The Dreyfus Roundtable and FNN’s The Profit Motive with Jim Rogers.
From 1990 to 1992, Rogers fulfilled a lifelong dream by motorcycling 100,000 miles across six continents, a feat that earned him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. As a private investor, he constantly analyzed the countries he traveled through for investment opportunities. He documented this journey in his book Investment Biker: On the Road with Jim Rogers.
In 1999, Rogers embarked on the Millennium Adventure, a three-year round-the-world journey that earned him his third Guinness World Record. Passing through 116 countries, he covered more than 245,000 kilometers, which he recounted in his book Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Road Trip.
In 2004, he published Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably In The World’s Best Market. Another book, A Bull in China, details his experiences in China and the opportunities there. His most recent book, A Gift to My Children, is a heartfelt guide for his daughters, offering advice on finding success and happiness. His latest memoir, Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets, was published in 2013.
