“I haven’t seen Soros in more than 40 years. You might as well ask me about my first wife. I’ve seen her more than I have Soros,” Jim Rogers says when asked if he is still in touch with billionaire investor George Soros, who was once his business partner.

Quick-witted and not afraid to speak his mind, Rogers is widely regarded as an investing legend. He achieved notoriety — and a significant fortune — when the Quantum Fund that Soros and he founded in 1973 returned 4,200% over the following decade, compared with just 47% for the S&P 500.
