About Me

Ron Baron is the CEO of Baron Funds, a money management firm he founded in 1982; it manages about $53 billion. The buy-and-hold investor's flagship fund, Baron Growth, has an annual turnover of less than 1.5% and net assets of about $4 billion. Baron owns one of the biggest estates in the Hamptons, which he assembled from 2001 to 2009 at a total cost of $152 million. It's worth much more now.
