co-founder with George Soros of the [Quantum Fund] (he had a SmallCo attitude: he didn't want to grow the fund as much as Soros did because of the hassles of running an organization vs a small fund, which is why he eventually left)

We arrived back in New York, our home, on 5 January 2002, just 1101 days since we departed on our round-the-world, Guinness World Record journey. Passing through 116 countries, we covered more than 245,000 kilometers during our travels, which began in Iceland way back on 1-1-1999. Our non-stop, self-contained, three-year trip in a one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Benz took us to six continents, where our goal was to explore as much of the world as possible at the turn of the millennium, to learn what people and countries were doing and to see how well they were doing it. for [Adventure Capitalist] ISBN:0375509127
