假如問英國民眾是否聽過普拉特(Michael Platt)這號人物,十之八九大概會滿頭霧水回答:“誰啊?”
實際上他身家高達143億英鎊,是英國首富。
有別於名列第2、第3的石化大亨雷克裏夫(Jim Ratcliffe)和發明家戴森(James
Dyson),普拉特行事異常低調,他2000年創立的對衝基金公司BlueCrest坐落在倫敦熱鬧的維多利亞地鐵站旁,不過櫃台接待人員隻知道公司在8樓,老板叫什麽名字渾然不知。
56歲的普拉特本人也從不回複電子郵件。
普拉特出身蘭開夏郡(Lancashire)普瑞斯頓(Peston)的中產階級家庭,他崛起的故事多采多姿卻又惹議。父母婉拒接受兒子任何饋贈,隻有熱愛高爾夫球的母親被他說動,接受了他在裏茲(Reeds)某座高球場旁買下的度假小屋,以及飛往美國奧古斯塔觀賞高球名人賽的門票。
不同於大膽采用嶄新策略替投資人牟利的多數避險基金公司,普拉特的BlueCrest是服務普拉特本人、合夥人及員工的私人投資工具,沒有外部客戶,前基金經理人指“基本上公司客戶隻有一位,就是普拉特”。
普拉特避免公開露麵已久,最近一次受訪已是10多年前,宣傳他讚助的藝術展。不過再低調也難免破功,行車紀錄器曾拍到他搭乘紐約計程車時向司機自誇:“我是全球金融界賺最多錢的人。”
事後他辯稱隻是酒後玩笑話,不過影片已被電視台曝光,甚至引來美國證券管理委員會(SEC)調查,向BlueCrest開罰1.7億美元(約55億台幣),創SEC曆來向單一對衝基金公司開罰的最高金額紀錄。
