Jamie McDonald

Auctioneer

After studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University, Jamie McDonald spent just over 10 years on Wall Street, much of it working for Steve Cohen in New York as a Partner and Portfolio Manager of then SAC Capital, now Point 72. In 2014, he swapped trading screens for the small screen and began hosting travel shows for the likes of Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast, and finance series for the Wall Street Journal, LSEG and Real Vision, amongst others. Jamie started and continues to host the award-winning podcast Hedge Fund Huddle.  

But it was in 2016 when chance made him auctioneer for the night, and he’s never looked back. Jamie has spent the last 10 years raising millions for hundreds of charities on stage all over America and Europe.  

Jamie currently lives in Manhattan with his wife and 2 daughters.
