"Sleepless CEO: Hedge Fund Titan's 2,000 Nights in the Office"

Peter Brown, CEO of investment management firm Renaissance Technologies, revealed that he has slept in his office nearly 2,000 times as part of his work routine. Brown, who is worth $100 million, explained that sleeping in the office allows him to concentrate non-stop and be productive. He also shared an anecdote about offering an employee a pay rise in the middle of the night to solve a work problem. Additionally, Brown discussed the company's hiring practices, stating that they prefer to hire mathematicians with non-finance backgrounds to teach them about the markets rather than hiring individuals with finance experience.
