The Rise of a Wall Street Legend
Ray Dalio's origin story is the stuff of Wall Street legend. A middle-class kid from Long Island, he bought his first stock at age 12 and was trading by high school. After graduating from Harvard Business School, he founded Bridgewater out of his two-bedroom apartment in 1975. From these humble beginnings, Dalio built Bridgewater into a behemoth, amassing a fortune of over $19 billion. By the 2000s, Bridgewater was the world's largest hedge fund, managing $150 billion and boasting eye-popping returns. But it wasn't just Bridgewater's financial success that set it apart. Dalio had developed a unique management philosophy centered on radical transparency and what he called an "idea meritocracy." Employees were encouraged to challenge each other openly, regardless of rank. Every meeting was recorded. Performance was constantly evaluated through a system of public ratings and rankings. Dalio codified these practices in a 123-page manifesto called "Principles," which became required reading for all Bridgewater employees. He claimed this system allowed the best ideas to rise to the top, creating a workplace nirvana of truth-seeking and personal growth. The reality, as I discovered, was far different.
