Hedge Fund Fashions
Remember: money is always in fashion and never mock a millionaire…
Just two reasons super-rich hedge fund managers don’t have to care what you or joe public think of them.
FT: Arki Busson, multi-millionaire hedge fund manager and on-off partner of Uma Thurman, is a man who can dress how he likes for work. For the most part, this means suits and open-neck shirts – nothing too attention-seeking. At least until your eye falls to his wrist. For there, next to his watch, Busson regularly wears … beads and bangles, charms and straps. Bracelets, in other words.
…
According to James Massey, these wristbands are a mark of the independence afforded to the hedge funder or the entrepreneur: “The ones that own their own company don’t care about traditional dressing,” he says.
Beads and bangles with a suit. Fine. But it’s also worth remembering that your boss is unlikely to see you in the same light. Turning up in the City looking like you just got back from Goa only works if you are rich enough for others not to care that you might know the difference between a bong and a chillum.
