A few months ago I went to an investors meeting on the Isle of Man and convinced a billionaire, to come on reddit.
The post is up over on iAmA, ask him a question, he will be live from 4:30pm UK time.
Jim Mellon, became a millionaire by 28 through co-founding and selling a fund management company in Hong Kong. He then took advantage of privatization in Russia, he bought $2 million in stock swappable vouchers Russians were literally selling on the streets of Moscow, worth $17 million a few weeks later.
He then built up and sold an eastern european fund before starting a uranium mining company and selling that for over a billion. Moving into banking, insurance and investment, Jim just couldn't stop growing his stack.
He is one of the biggest investors in cultivated meat, aiming to end factory farming. More recently he just about perfectly predicted the run on gold, sold at the peak, put it all into oil and sold that at about the peak and is now moving into energy across the board.
These are just a few highlights. Feel free to ask him a question.
