This self-taught math genius has such a good eye for the market that he stopped making or buying loans from 2004 to 2007, then took advantage of the Great Recession by grabbing distressed assets nationwide.
He has a number of Beal Banks in Texas and Nevada that lend to oil and gas producers. He also donates to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas.
