\nThe world has changed drastically in the two years since D1 Capital launched.
\nAnd Dan Sundheim made money through it all, thanks to a string of bets that have emerged as winners in the new normal. The Wharton grad now has at least $1 billion in personal wealth between his assets in his firm, stake in the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, real-estate portfolio, and art collection.
\nThe former Viking Global Investors chief investment officer started trading at D1 in July 2018 with more than $5 billion \u2014 including more than $500 million of his own money \u2014 and hasn’t looked back.
\nBusiness Insider’s conversations with a dozen college classmates, coworkers, and people who’ve invested with him revealed a whip-smart, mild-mannered colleague who had early flashes of investing brilliance.
\n“I think of Dan like LeBron James. Whatever team he is on is going to be a contender because he makes everyone else around him so much better,” one of Sundheim’s former Viking colleagues told Business Insider.\u00a0
