How do you explain the school teacher spending $200 per week, then? The teachers here collectively own one of the world's largest hedge funds. These are very wealthy people.



Whoever told you that, you should stop listening to them.


It was the teachers themselves who told me, but sage advice in general. You're quite right that teaching does tend to an attract a crowd that are out to lunch.

Still, the portfolio is public knowledge, so we can also verify what they say. In this case a stopped watch is still right sometimes.
