David Einhorn (born November 20, 1968), an American hedge fund manager, is the founder and president of Greenlight Capital, a "long-short value-oriented hedge fund." He started Greenlight Capital in 1996 with $900,000. Greenlight has generated about a 20% annualized return for investors.〔Hugo Lindgren, ("The Confidence Man" ), ''New York Magazine'', 2008/06/15.〕 Einhorn is also the Chairman of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd, a Cayman Islands-based reinsurance company and is a major shareholder. Einhorn has received extensive coverage in the financial press for short selling Allied Capital, Lehman Brothers and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters stock. He is also a critic of current investment-banking practices, saying they are biased to maximize employee compensation. He cites a statistic that investment banks pay out 50 percent of revenues as compensation, and "more leverage means more revenues which means more compensation."〔 Einhorn was a director at New Century Financial Corp., a major subprime mortgage lender, between March 2006 and March 2007. Greenlight Capital held 6.3% of the company's stock at the time he resigned from the board. A class action lawsuit was brought against 13 former directors and senior management of New Century. The lawsuit did not allege any specific wrongdoing by Einhorn and was settled in 2010 without any admission of liability on Einhorn's part. The settlement was funded by more than $90 million in payments from New Century's D&O carriers and personal payments by members of senior management, not including David Einhorn. He is also a founding Master Player of the Portfolios with Purpose virtual stock trading contest. ==Personal life and family== Einhorn was born to a Jewish family〔(Forbes Israel: Jewish Billionaires - Profile of David Einhorn ) April 14, 2013 (''in Hebrew'')〕 in New Jersey,〔(New York post: "Mets agree to sell minority stake in team" By CLEMENTE LISI ) May 26, 2011〕 the son of Stephen and Nancy Einhorn,〔(Milwaukee Journal Semtinel: "Venture capitalist Einhorn paid for voter fraud billboards" By Daniel Bice ) October 29, 2012〕 The family moved to Wisconsin when he was seven.〔 in 1987, he graduated from Nicolet High School in Glendale, Wisconsin. Einhorn graduated ''summa cum laude'' from Cornell University with a B.A. in Government from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1991. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Cornell. Einhorn lives in Westchester County, New York with his wife, Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, and three children.〔 Einhorn is a major contributor and board member of The Michael J. Fox Foundation. In 2006, Einhorn finished 18th in the World Series of Poker main event and donated his winnings (over $650,000) to the foundation.〔Bob Pajich, ("David Einhorn Donates All $$659,730 WSOP Winnings" ), ''CardPlayer'' (website), 2006/08/08.〕 He is also on the board of the Robin Hood Foundation and a contributor to numerous charities in the New York area. In the Spring of 2009, as promised in his book ''Fooling Some of the People All of the Time,'' Greenlight Capital donated all of the general partner's profits from the shorting of Allied Capital stock (an additional $6 million - Greenlight already donated $1 million in 2005 to Tomorrows Children's Fund - to make a total of $7 million) to three organizations (Tomorrows Children's Fund, The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) and the Center for Public Integrity (CPI). In 2012, Einhorn donated his winnings from the 2012 World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop Tournament (which had a one million dollar buy in, and in which he won $4,352,000 for his 3rd-place finish) to City Year. Einhorn's father Stephen and his brother Daniel together run Einhorn & Associates, a Wauwatosa mergers-and-acquisitions consulting firm, and Capital Midwest Fund, a venture capital fund. Stephen and his wife Nancy are major supporters of the Republican Party and, in the United States presidential election, 2012, funded the placement of anonymous anti-voter-fraud billboards in Wisconsin and Ohio.〔Bice, Daniel,("Venture capitalist Einhorn paid for voter fraud billboards" ), Milwaukee ''Journal Sentinel'', October 29, 2012.
