Steven A. Cohen (born June 11, 1956) is an American hedge-fund manager and owner of the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB) since September 14, 2020, owning just over 97% of the team. [3] He is the founder of hedge fund Point72 Asset Management and S.A.C. Capital Advisors. [4]

In 2013 S.A.C. Capital Advisors pleaded guilty to insider trading and agreed to pay $1.8 billion in fines ($900 million in forfeiture and $900 million in fines) in one of the biggest criminal cases against a hedge fund. Cohen was prohibited from managing outside money for two years as part of the settlement reached in the civil case over his accountability for the scandal. The hedge fund agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and four counts of securities fraud and to close its doors to outside investors. [1]

Cohen loosely inspired the character Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, on the Showtime series Billions. [5]

Early life and education

Cohen grew up in Great Neck, New York, where his father was a dress manufacturer in Manhattan's garment district and his mother was a piano teacher. [6] He grew up in a Jewish family. [7] [8] He is the third of eight brothers and sisters. He took a liking to poker as a high school student, often betting his own money in tournaments, and he credits the game with teaching him "how to take risks." [6] Cohen graduated from John L. Miller Great Neck North High School in 1974, where he played on the school's soccer team. [9]

Cohen received an economics degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1978. While in school, Cohen was initiated as a brother of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity's Theta chapter, where he served as treasurer. While at Penn, a friend helped him open a brokerage account with $1,000 of his tuition money. [6]

Investment career

Gruntal & Co. (1978–1992)

In 1978, after graduating from Penn, Cohen got a Wall Street job as a junior trader in the options arbitrage department at Gruntal & Co. [6] On his first day on the job at Gruntal & Co., he made an $8,000 profit. He eventually would go on to make the company around $100,000 a day [10] and eventually managed a $75 million portfolio and six traders. [6] Cohen was running his trading group at Gruntal & Co. by 1984 and continued running it until he started his own company, SAC Capital, in 1992. [10]

Throughout the late 1980s, the Securities and Exchange Commission became suspicious that Cohen had used inside information in December 1985 when he bet that RCA and GE would merge, ahead of the announcement. The SEC called him to testify, but he refused to answer any questions, invoking his right against self-incrimination. Then, the SEC started looking into his other investments from the same period, especially those involving Brett K. Lurie. However, Cohen was not charged with insider trading. [11]

S.A.C. Capital Advisors (1992–2016)

In 1992, Cohen started S.A.C. Capital Advisors with $10 million of his own money and another $10 million from outside capital. The company's name, 'SAC Capital', is derived from Steven A. Cohen's initials. [12]

In 2003, the New York Times wrote that "SAC is one of the biggest hedge funds and is known for frequent and rapid trading." [13] In 2006, The Wall Street Journal reported that, while Cohen was once a rapid-fire trader who never held trading positions for extended periods, he now held an increasing number of equities for longer periods. [6] [14]

As of 2009, the firm managed $14 billion in equity. [15]

Racketeering and insider trading charges

In December 2009, Cohen and his brother Donald T. Cohen were sued by Steven's ex-wife Patricia Cohen for racketeering and insider trading charges. [16] On March 30, 2011, the United States District Court in Lower Manhattan dismissed the case, but, on April 3, 2013, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that a lower court had erred in dismissing fraud-based claims by his former spouse and revived the lawsuit. [17] [18] [2] [19] The appeals court also revived claims of racketeering and breach of fiduciary duty while upholding the dismissal of an unjust-enrichment claim.

Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Pierre N. Leval said that Patricia Cohen had made a "plausible" allegation that Steven Cohen had concealed the $5.5 million during negotiations on a separation agreement in 1989, which preceded the divorce. The revival of the lawsuit came amid mounting pressure on Steven Cohen over an insider-trading investigation that led to the arrest of Michael Steinberg, one of Cohen's closest confidantes at SAC Capital. SAC affiliates reached two civil insider trading settlements totaling nearly $616 million with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. SAC neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in either case. [20]

SEC investigation (2012–2016)

On November 20, 2012, Cohen was implicated in an alleged insider trading scandal involving an ex-SAC manager, Mathew Martoma. [21] [22] The SEC brought charges against many other S.A.C. employees from 2010 to 2013 with various outcomes. Martoma was convicted in 2014, in what federal prosecutors billed as the most profitable insider-trading conspiracy in history. [23] The SEC later brought a civil lawsuit against Cohen, alleging his failure to supervise Martoma and Michael Steinberg, who was a senior employee and confidant of Cohen's. [24] Cohen settled his civil case with regulators in January 2016; the agreement with the SEC prohibited Cohen from managing outside money until 2018. [24]

S.A.C. Capital Advisors "pleaded guilty to insider trading charges in 2013 and paid $1.8 billion in penalties" and was required to stop handling investments for outsiders. [12] Cohen "escaped criminal indictment himself despite being the living, breathing heart of S.A.C. Capital." [12] He was featured in January 2017 The New Yorker article titled "When the Feds Went After the Hedge-Fund Legend Steven A. Cohen". [25]

Point72 Ventures (2014–present)

In 2014, Cohen founded Point72 Ventures, "a venture capital fund that makes early-stage investments". [26]

GameStop short squeeze

In January 2021, Cohen's hedge fund Point72 joined Ken Griffin's Citadel in putting $2.75 billion into Melvin Capital, the hedge fund of former Cohen protege Gabe Plotkin, as a result of the GameStop short squeeze. [27] [28] Cohen denied that his involvement with the short squeeze would affect his willingness to spend money on the New York Mets. [29] Cohen deactivated his Twitter account on January 29, 2021, due to an influx of threats against him and his family. [30]

Cohen is portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio in the 2023 film Dumb Money , a biographical drama covering the short squeeze. [31] [32]

Wealth

In 2024, Forbes Magazine estimated Cohen's fortune at $21.5 billion, ranking him the 30th richest person in the United States. [33] Cohen was dubbed "the hedge fund king" in a 2006 Wall Street Journal article. His 2005 compensation was reportedly $1 billion, [34] considerably higher than his 2001 compensation of $428 million. [10] In February 2015, Forbes listed Cohen as the highest-earning hedge-fund manager in 2014. [35] In December 2013, Cohen's New York penthouse in the Bloomberg Tower was listed with an initial sale price of $115 million. [36] According to Institutional Investor , Cohen made an estimated $1.7 billion in 2020. [37]

New York Mets

Cohen became a minority owner of the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB) in 2012, with an 8% stake in the club. [38] [39] In August 2020, Cohen had entered negotiations with Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz to buy a controlling interest in the team before reaching an agreement the following month. [40] [41] MLB approved the sale in October 2020, allowing Cohen to take control in November. [42]

Philanthropy

Cohen has given $715 million to philanthropic causes throughout his life, including to charitable causes relating to veterans and children's health. [43]

Cohen serves on the board of trustees of the New York-based Robin Hood Foundation. [44]

Via the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, the Cohens have donated to projects involved in health, education, arts and culture, and the New York community. [45] In 2014, the Cohen Foundation provided funding, via the New York University Langone Center, for the study of post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. [46] The foundation gave a grant in excess of $100,000 to the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science in 2014. [47] In 2019, the foundation contributed $50 million of the more than $400 million raised for the New York Museum of Modern Art. The museum announced in 2017 that MoMA's largest contiguous gallery will be called the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions. Cohen is on the board of the MoMa and LA MOCA. [48]

In April 2016, Cohen announced the creation and a commitment of $275 million to the Cohen Veterans Network. [49] The CVN's goal is to establish mental-health centers for veterans and their families throughout the United States. [49] The goal was the establishment of 20–25 centers by 2020. [49]

Cohen Veterans Bioscience, also funded by Cohen, conducts research into the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder on combat veterans. [49]

Politics

In 2015, Steven Cohen and his wife, Alexandra, donated $2.25 million to a Super PAC called America Leads that supported Chris Christie's presidential candidacy. [50]

In 2017, Cohen contributed $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration. [51]

In 2021, Cohen donated $500,000 to a Super PAC supporting Andrew Yang's candidacy in the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary, and a further $1.5 million to a Super PAC supporting Eric Adams. [52]

Art collection

Cohen's art collection is reported to be worth around $1 billion. [53]

The New York Times reported that Cohen began seriously collecting art in 2000. [54] Cohen's tastes and collection began with Impressionist painters, acquiring works by Manet and Monet, after which he moved quickly into contemporary art. [54]

While he has collected works from important emerging artists such as Adam Pendleton, [55] he is most famous for collecting 'trophy' art, signature works by famous artists, [56] including a Pollock drip painting from David Geffen for $52 million and Damien Hirst's The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living , a piece that the artist had bought back from Charles Saatchi for $8 million. [57]

In 2006, Cohen attempted to make the most expensive art purchase in history when he offered to purchase Picasso's Le Rêve from casino mogul Steve Wynn for $139 million. Just days before the painting was to be transported to Cohen, Wynn, who suffers from poor vision due to retinitis pigmentosa, accidentally thrust his elbow through the painting while showing it to a group of acquaintances inside of his office at Wynn Las Vegas. The purchase was canceled, and Wynn kept the painting [58] until early November 2012, when Cohen finally acquired the painting for $150 million. [2]

In May 2019, Cohen bought Jeff Koons's Rabbit for $91.1 million; [59] the purchase was made through Robert Mnuchin and was the most expensive work sold by a living artist at auction at the time.

Cohen owns or has owned artworks by Lucio Fontana, Alberto Giacometti, Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol. [53] [60] [61] [62] In 2015, he reportedly bought the world's most expensive sculpture, Alberto Giacometti's Man Pointing . [63] In November 2015, his art collection was estimated to be at about $1 billion. [53] Cohen is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. Cohen had also placed Marc Quinn's Self, a head sculpture made of frozen blood, in the SAC lobby. [64]

Legacy and awards

In 2008, he was inducted into the Institutional Investors Alpha's Hedge Fund Manager Hall of Fame along with Alfred Jones, Bruce Kovner, David Swensen, George Soros, Jack Nash, James Simons, Julian Robertson, Kenneth Griffin, Leon Levy, Louis Bacon, Michael Steinhardt, Paul Tudor Jones and Seth Klarman. [65]

Personal life

Cohen has been married twice. [6] In 1979, he married Patricia Finke, a New York native from a working-class background who grew up in the Washington Heights, Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. [11] They have two children together. [11] They divorced in 1990.

In 1991, Cohen met Alexandra "Alex" Garcia, a single mother of Puerto Rican descent. Alex grew up in Washington Heights, moving there from her original home in the projects of Harlem. [11] They met through a dating service and was described, according to an acquaintance, as someone who had "always wanted to marry a millionaire". [66] Alex, a longtime Mets fan, has taken an active role in the Mets since Steve purchased the team, and is listed as an owner along with Steve. She currently serves as the president of the Amazin’ Mets Foundation, the team's associated charity. [67] [68] [69]

In 1998, Cohen purchased a 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) home on 14 acres (57,000 m2) in Greenwich, Connecticut. [70] [10]
