Jane Street’s Reynolds Turns to Art With Trading Fortune
This article is for subscribers only.
Tim Reynolds, who made his fortune transforming mathematicians into traders at Jane Street Capital LLC, has a new obsession: teaching poor students to master photorealistic painting.
Reynolds stepped aside in September from the multibillion-dollar-a-day arbitrage operation he co-founded in 2000. He’s already donated more than $10 million to endow free art schools in Anguilla, the Dominican Republic, Pennsylvania, Sri Lanka and Thailand, and he’s developing luxurious hotels nearby to bring in potential collectors.
