By: Smith, Daniel J.

What does it take to rise from modest beginnings to becoming a titan of finance and the owner of one of Major League Baseball's most celebrated teams? Steve Cohen's life is a story of extraordinary ambition, resilience, and reinvention-a journey from playing poker at kitchen tables to managing billions of dollars and redefining modern sports ownership.In this compelling biography, you'll uncover the untold story of a man whose sharp instincts and unrelenting drive catapulted him into the upper echelons of American business.

As the founder of S.A.C.

Yet, through adversity, he forged a path of redemption, creating Point72 Asset Management and proving that reinvention is possible, even in the face of immense challenges.
Beyond the trading floor, Cohen's story takes a surprising turn into the world of sports. His acquisition of the New York Mets marked the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with dreams of championship glory and a commitment to the fans and community. Coupled with his philanthropic endeavors-supporting veterans, healthcare, and education-Cohen's impact extends far beyond his financial achievements.
