How Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager David Tepper Got The Coldest Revenge Ever On His Former Boss (CelebrityNetworth.com) If you live outside of Pittsburgh or North Carolina, you probably don’t know the name David Tepper. For Pittsburghers, Tepper is the hometown boy done good. A hard working kid from humble beginnings who worked his way up to the top-top-top of the finance industry, made a fortune then gave large chunks of that fortune to local charities and institutions which now bear his name. For North Carolinians, Tepper is the guy who in 2018 paid a then-record $2.275 billion for the Carolina Panthers NFL team. But even outside of Pittsburgh and North Carolina, Tepper is a fascinating and inspirational guy. Especially for anyone who dreams of getting sweet revenge on a former terrible boss.
