Cooperman founded Omega Advisors in 1991. It had approximately $3.6 billion in assets under management as of June 30. The investor has a net worth of $3.2 billion, according to Forbes. The Wall Street veteran’s July Financial Times op-ed questioned whether a wealth tax would be “the best path forward for the country and whether the federal government is currently up to the task of allocating those tax resources efficiently.”
But he expressed support for a progressive income tax, writing: “Congress should revisit the ‘Buffett rule,’ named for his belief that the wealthy should not pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than those who are less affluent, and impose a surtax on those making more than $1 million.”
