Thomas Peterffy: Trump Is Smart, How I Built a $100bn Business, and Why the Bubble Is Still to Come

This week, Wilf talks to Thomas Peterffy, the digital trading pioneer and founder of Interactive Brokers. With a personal fortune of over $75bn, Peterffy is one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time. Arriving in the US from communist Hungary at 22 with no English, he embodies the American Dream. In this conversation, he defends capitalism and Donald Trump, reflects on building a $100bn business, and reveals his simple secret to success: using technology to deliver better, cheaper products for customers.
