Hohn has placed big bets on big tech \u2014 including Microsoft and Alphabet \u2014 and that strategy paid off in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Newcomer to the list, Karthik Sarma of SRS Investment Management, cracked the top three slots this year after a bet he placed 11 years ago on rental car company Avis finally paid off. Sarma owns roughly 50% of Avis and made an estimated $2 billion as the stock surged 456% this year.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike Griffin, whose collection of homes is estimated at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/2020\/08\/27\/ken-griffin-is-approaching-1b-in-worldwide-luxury-real-estate\/\">a whopping $1 billion<\/a>, Sarma\u2019s real estate is more modest \u2014 he spent the pandemic living with his sister and her family in a middle-class suburban home in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/steve-cohen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Steve Cohen\" class=\"wp-image-21221943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/steve-cohen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/steve-cohen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/steve-cohen.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Steve Cohen nabbed the 7th spot two years in a row.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin for NY Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The residence may prevent him from splurging on a fleet of Ferraris \u2014 his sister\u2019s home only has a two-car garage.<\/p>\n<p>Noticeably absent from the list was Tiger Global Management\u2019s Chase Coleman who held the top spot in 2020. In 2020, Coleman placed big bets on so-called stay-at-home stocks including Zoom and Peloton that made huge gains during the pandemic. This year those stocks were far less lucrative. <\/p>\n<p>However, Coleman may be placing bets that could pay off down the line.
