| “We view our wealth in this light - not as an end in itself, but as an instrument to effect positive and transformative change. There is no reason for delay in making a difference.” |

| At one time, Arnold was considered one of the world’s top commodity traders. After a successful stint at Enron, where he worked on the crude oil desk and the natural gas desk, he utilized his $8 million bonus to launch his hedge fund in 2002 – Centaurus Advisors. Managing to distance himself from Enron’s legacy and raking in the moolah, he shocked the hedge-fund world by calling it quits two years ago, at the age of 38. |
