It was during the dot com bubble in 1999 that Timothy started trading and was the result of a tennis injury, which meant he had lots of free time on his hands.Īfter graduating college, Timothy began running a hedge fund and continued to do so for several years. He was able to do this simply by taking part in the day trading of penny stocks. Well, Timothy made his name by turning money he received for his Bar Mitzvah ($12,415) into an astonishing $2,000,000 during his time at college.
