Reclusive hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones, the founder of Tudor Investments and charitable organization The Robin Hood Foundation, said he's had too many sleepless nights, according to BusinessInsider. The reason, he explained, has to do with the pressing issue of income inequality in the U.S.
"I've had too many sleepless nights lately. Many of you in this room in the financial community when you have too big of a position in a stock you're confronted with sleeplessness, you have to sell down to the sleeping point. For me, I have to give down to the sleeping point."
The hedge fund manager explained the U.S. is at a critical point.
"Here we are faced with the greatest economic crisis that any of us have ever lived through since the Great Depression and where are we? Well, our leaders and our citizens probably have as much of a lack of trust in one another as we have ever experienced and it's at a fever pitch," he said.
The hedge fund titan said our government will take a long time to iron out these pressing issues, so in the meantime encouraged people to step up and give.
"I'm going to care more than I ever cared," he said. "I'm going to dig deeper. I'm going to give more of my time, my money and my know-how than I ever have and than I ever thought was possible."
