Contribution to society, Hedge fund managers VS Physicians

Contribution to society Hedge fund managers VS Physicians


"FrontPoint thrived. By the time Morgan Stanley bought the firm for $404 million in December 2006, FrontPoint had 11 investment teams managing $5.5 billion in assets. Skowron earned $13.5 million in 2007 and $7 million in 2008, according to court documents. He paid $5 million in 2006 for a three-acre parcel across the street from the Greenwich Country Club. He built a house with seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and four fireplaces. He added a 2006 Ariel Atom II and a 2008 Porsche Cayenne to his car collection. In 2010, the Greenwich tax assessor’s office said the house had a market value of $8.3 million"

"Skowron often gave up vacations to work with AmeriCares, a nonprofit organization that offers humanitarian aid in troubled areas. Over the years, Skowron volunteered his surgical skills in Kosovo, Cuba, India, Guatemala, and post-Katrina Louisiana. For a time, he carried in his briefcase a photo of a little boy whose infected leg he had saved."
