Big Short's Michael Burry is known for netting hundreds of millions of dollars by betting against the US real estate market during the 2008 global financial crisis.
His contrarian approach is also evident from his trades, like buying water assets, forecasting future scarcity, and investing in GameStop before it was a meme stock. Burry shuttered his hedge fund Scion Asset Management a few months ago, citing that market fundamentals don't align with his investment philosophy anymore.
