WSJ: "SAC Capital Management LP, Mr. Cohen's largest and oldest fund, launched in 1992, has generated an average annual return to investors of 43.5%, after he takes a sizable cut of profits."

His relationship with his parents was sometimes difficult, he says. He began playing poker frequently as a high school student, he recalls, and would sometimes arrive home at 6 a.m. after an all-night game, hand the car keys to his father, then head to bed without saying a word. Mr. Cohen says his mother never acknowledged his success. She "thought I was smart but lazy," he says, and up until her death last year, considered his younger brother Donald to be the family's financial expert.

Mr. Cohen excelled in school and at the card table. "I'd look at his desk in the morning and see wads of $100 bills," says Donald, 47, now an accountant in Florida. The summer before his junior year, he quit his job cutting fruit at a local grocer for $1.85 an hour to concentrate on cards. Mr. Cohen says poker "taught me how to take risks."
