Does anyone know of a list of the most successful/wealthiest people that hold the CFA charter? I know Bill Gross has one, and I believe Ray Dalio does as well, but I am not 100% sure about him. I have not been able to find anything close to a comprehensive list. Thought this might be some nice motivation as many of us prepare for our next exam in June…

Interestingly, most of them don’t. CFAs work for them.
While I appreciate the implication of what you say, and to some degree there is truth in it, many of the most successful people in finance, particularly asset management, are CFA charterholders. That being said, data would be preferred over subjectivity.
take a number out of your “magic hat” and console yourself with it…
if wealth is a motivator for your studies. … then ask yourself if your studying is really needed.
Lovely. This was only meant to be a diversion from studying…
Did you know the CFAI website has a search function for members?
I don’t think Ray Dalio has his CFA
Fixed.
We don’t want ethics violations here.
Could also be a generational thing. I would argue that the wealthiest people are also some of the oldest people and the charter has not been too well known until the 90s.

Bill Gross comes to mind.
