Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller might not be a household name like Warren Buffett, but he's one of the best investors of all time.

The George Soros protégé ran the Duquesne Capital Management hedge fund for nearly 30 years with an average annual return of 30% and no losing years. That's a phenomenal track record.
