The list measures net gains, after fees, of hedge fund managers since their respective funds' inception. We've included the top seven fund managers below. As a group, they manage more than $275 billion in assets, and have generated more than $200 billion in gains since inception. They generated $10.6 billion in returns in 2016, with one of the seven, George Soros' Soros Fund Management, losing money over the year.    7. Och Ziff - Daniel Och Net gains in 2016: $1.1 billion Net gains since inception: $23.1 billion (1994) Fund's assets under management: $33.5 billion Highlights: Och-Ziff Capital Management agreed to settle charges of bribery, paying nearly $200 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in September. The hedge fund's CEO, Dan Och, agreed to pay nearly $2.2 million to settle the charges with the SEC, as did the firm's CFO, Joel Frank. The firm was accused of bribery in its financial dealings in Africa, which the SEC says included run-ins with Muammar Gaddafi's relatives. The fund also found itself the recipient of some savvy investing advice from a 24-year old Chipotle cook.  6.
