When studying and doing research on one of the world’s largest hedge funds ever in existence, I came across a corporation called Bridgewater Associates. A huge hedge fund with over $169,000,000,000 under management of analysts, traders, risk specialists, portfolio and fund managers as well as hedge fund partners; Bridgewater is run like a cult which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

These people make multi-million or multi-billion dollar deals eating White Alba Truffles, caviar and lobster in $500 plus per person restaurants.
