In brief
Paul Singer opened Elliott in 1977 and never needed a louder brand than the returns. The firm specializes in situations where law, leverage, and time are the real assets.
He is also a major Republican donor and a patron of conservative and civic causes. The investing style is the part competitors still try to copy.
Paul Singer was born on August 22, 1944, in New York City to a Jewish family. He was the middle child of three siblings, with his father working as a pharmacist in Manhattan and his mother serving as a homemaker.
