The most famous investors in the world have achieved countless fortunes.

Here is a list of ten of the most famous and successful investors in history:

Benjamin Graham

He is an economist and investor of British origin. He was born in the United States in 1894 and lived there until he died in 1976.

This brilliant person was not only an investor; he wrote many books to explain and educate investors from his peers and left behind the principles and basics of intelligent and successful investment, and one of the most important and famous books is The Smart Investor.

In addition, Benjamin is known for two of the most successful investment strategies: the financial analysis strategy and the value investment strategy.

The value investment strategy's fundamental tenet was that every investment must have a high value that is far greater than the investor's cash outlay.

Benjamin was very critical in analyzing the situation of companies and considered it one of the most essential priorities, as well as in his research and analysis of companies that have a solid and strong financial position resulting from low obligations and high cash flow rates and characterized by a profit margin above the average profit margin of the rest of the companies.

Warren Buffett

An American investor and one of the world's most important, successful, and famous investors, Warren Buffett chairs the Board of Directors of Berkshire Hathaway, and he considers investor Benjamin Graham an example and follows his investment principles and strategies.

Warren Buffett’s wealth is currently estimated to be worth more than $100 billion. He achieved this by investing in the shares of several companies through his core company, Berkshire Hathaway.

One of Warren Buffett's critical achievements at his company was that those who invested $10,000 in it in 1965 are now worth $165 million.

One of the most critical things that Warren Buffett enjoys is his investing style, which is dominated by his patience and discipline when making any investment decision.

John Templeton

In addition to being one of the most critical investors in the business world and among the most successful and outstanding, he was also a skilled and experienced banker. He is of British-American origin.

Born in 1912, John was initially interested in buying low-priced stocks, holding them for a certain period, and selling them at a higher price after a certain period. This was all his activity during the Great Depression in the United States of America during that period.

As a result of that policy during that period, he made very massive profits and then established a group of young investment funds, which, after and during its peak period, was considered one of the most important, successful, and largest investment funds.

His life was full of success until he died in 2008.

Thomas Rowe Price Jr.

This man of American origin is considered the spiritual father of the growth investment strategy, and he is a successful businessman and investor of the highest degree.

His famous strategy means that the investor invests in the shares of small or emerging companies, which are expected to witness significant growth and increasing rates of profit in the future, as this strategy focuses fundamentally on long-term investment.

Thomas was a legend in the discipline, research, and continuous follow-up of the companies in which he invested, and this played a vital role in his success during his career in the field of investment.

John Neff

This man's story is summed up by his tremendous success at Wellington Management.

He began this job in 1964 and continued to work in it until 1997, exceeding thirty years of hard work, giving, and success. His hard work was demonstrated in his management of three investment funds in this company, and he adopted a business strategy focused on investment in very popular industries but did so in indirect ways.

He has also invested in companies that have a very low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio but are characterized by high profits.

In addition, John Neff managed the Windsor Investment Fund for more than 30 years, achieving a return on investment of 13.7%.

Jesse Livermore

The success story of this man is characterized by the fact that he never received a formal education, and despite this, he became one of the strongest and most famous speculators in the stock market around the world. He started speculating in the stock market at an early age, which was at the beginning of his adolescence until he was sixteen years old, and it is strange that at that age, he had reached a profit value of more than a thousand dollars.

Jesse had worked in the stock market illegally for many years, and that was through his work in brokerage firms and brokerages that were not licensed to deal in securities.

It is worth mentioning that Jesse was working on the strategy of short-term investments in stocks, and this is what most enhanced his success and profitability.

Peter Lynch

He is a famous American investor who worked in the management of the investment fund "Fidelity Magellan" for nearly thirteen years. He started this business in 1977 and continued it until 1990, achieving during this period remarkable growth in the assets of this investment fund, where the value of investments in this fund increased as a result of the efforts of "Peter" from eighteen million dollars to fourteen billion dollars.

Peter's investment strategy was to invest only in an area he could easily understand, analyze, and know all aspects of.

George Soros

The most outstanding feature of this investor with a scientific foundation is his skill in analyzing economic trends, and he is of Hungarian-American origin.

Soros was a successful stock market speculator, so in 1973 he set up an investment-risk hedge fund called Soros Fund Management, which, thanks to George's efforts, developed into a popular investment fund called Quantum Management.

George has been in charge of these two funds for twenty years. During that time, he has achieved annual returns of more than 30% through the investment fund and, in one year, thanks to his tremendous efforts, annual returns of more than 100%. It's important to note that this achievement was spread out over two years.

Bill Gross

He is an American investor. He has been nicknamed the “King of Bonds” because he was the founder, owner, and manager of one of the largest investment management companies specializing in bonds, called PIMCO.

Bill Gross and his team have netted more than $1.92 trillion in assets and fixed income.

John Bogle

He is the founder of the Vanguard Group Investment Company and an investor of American origin. In 1975, John founded his company, which specialized in investing in investment funds, and this company has evolved to be one of the biggest sponsors of investment funds in the world.

John Bogle adopted a passive investment strategy, which he implemented by investing in mutual funds with low costs and low turnover.
