Through grit, intellect, and the good luck of life-changing mentors at an early age, Robert Rosenkranz became a self-made billionaire as a pioneer in private equity, multi-strategy hedge funds, and the insurance industry. Beyond business, he is a patron of the arts and medical science, and a quietly influential champion of civil discourse and free speech. He launched the acclaimed NPR program, Open to Debate, funded Impetus Grants to extend human healthspans, and is founding an innovative cultural institution in New York to showcase immersive work at the intersection of visual art, sound, music, and technology.
