About Dirk Ziff
Dirk Ziff and his brothers Robert and Daniel inherited a fortune from their grandfather, who cofounded publishing company Ziff Davis in 1927.
The brothers' late father built up Ziff Davis, publisher of PC Magazine and Car and Driver, and sold the company for $1.4 billion in 1994.
Through their Ziff Brothers Investments, which had hedge funds in the U.S. and in London, the brothers greatly expanded their inheritance.
Ziff Brothers Investments ceased operations in 2014. In 2015, Dirk Ziff formed his own family office, Ziff Capital Partners.
The brothers are also reportedly investing with former employees of their hedge funds.
