George Soros makes headlines, but not nearly as well as he makes money. His Soros Fund Management's generally successful hedge funds, including its flagship Quantum Fund, often invest according to macroeconomic trends. The company oversees some $24 billion, which it uses to buy large stakes in the energy, transportation, financial, retail, and other industries. It owns stakes in Brazilian oil group PETROBRAS, oil exploration firm Hess Corporation, and Ford Motor Company. Other investments include containership owner Global Ship Lease, retail site Bluefly, and Lattice Semiconductor. Soros Fund Management also had an ill-fated stake in Lehman Brothers, acquired just before the investment bank failed in 2008.
