Glenn Russell Dubin (born April 13, 1957) is an American billionaire hedge fund manager and investor who serves as Principal of Dubin & Co. LP, a private investment company. He is best known as the co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management, one of the largest hedge fund firms in the United States, which was ultimately acquired by JPMorgan Chase in 2009. Dubin is also the founder of Engineers Gate, a quantitative investment firm, and an investor in Castleton Commodities International. A founding board member of the Robin Hood Foundation, the poverty-fighting charitable organization based in New York, Dubin rose from modest roots in the housing projects of Washington Heights, Manhattan, to become one of Wall Street's most prominent financiers. His career and philanthropic activities have been extensively covered in financial media, though his name has also appeared in public reporting related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigations, a connection that has drawn sustained scrutiny from journalists and lawmakers.

Early Life

Glenn Russell Dubin was born on April 13, 1957, in New York City. He grew up in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, where his family lived in public housing projects. His upbringing in a working-class environment in upper Manhattan shaped his trajectory; Dubin has been described in philanthropic profiles as having risen from humble beginnings far removed from the world of Wall Street finance.

Details about Dubin's parents and family background beyond his residence in the Washington Heights housing projects are limited in publicly available sources. What is documented is that Dubin's path from the public housing developments of northern Manhattan to the upper echelons of the financial industry became a recurring element of his public profile, frequently cited in media coverage and philanthropic contexts as illustrative of his self-made career trajectory.

Education

Dubin attended Stony Brook University (formally the State University of New York at Stony Brook), where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. Stony Brook, a public research university on Long Island, would later feature prominently in Dubin's philanthropic efforts, and the university has highlighted him as a notable alumnus. In 2012, when Stony Brook's baseball team made an appearance in the College World Series, media coverage noted the university's growing profile, which had been bolstered in part by the support and visibility of successful alumni such as Dubin.

Dubin also has connections to Harvard University, where he and his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, made a gift that launched a fellowship fund at the university's Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Career

Highbridge Capital Management

Dubin co-founded Highbridge Capital Management in 1992, building it into one of the largest and most prominent multi-strategy hedge fund firms in the United States. Highbridge became known for employing a range of investment strategies, including statistical arbitrage, convertible bond arbitrage, and credit-related trading. The firm's growth through the 1990s and 2000s placed it among the elite tier of New York–based hedge fund managers.

In 2004, JPMorgan Chase acquired a majority stake in Highbridge Capital Management, a deal that was reported as one of the significant moments in the convergence of traditional banking and alternative asset management. In June 2009, JPMorgan completed a full buyout of Highbridge, acquiring the remaining stake held by Dubin and other partners. The acquisition, reported by The New York Times DealBook section, consolidated one of JPMorgan's most significant moves into the hedge fund space. At the time, Highbridge managed billions of dollars in assets and was considered one of the flagship alternative investment platforms within JPMorgan's asset management division.

Prior to the full JPMorgan acquisition, Highbridge had been expanding its investment activities. A 2007 New York Times report detailed aspects of the firm's dealmaking during a period of broader growth across the hedge fund industry.

Engineers Gate

Following the sale of Highbridge Capital Management, Dubin founded Engineers Gate, a quantitative investment firm that applies mathematical and computational methods to financial markets. The firm represents Dubin's continued involvement in the hedge fund industry through a data-driven, technology-oriented investment approach. Engineers Gate established its offices at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, part of a broader trend of financial firms relocating to the newly developed commercial district on Manhattan's West Side.

Castleton Commodities International

Dubin is an investor in Castleton Commodities International (CCI), an energy trading and commodities firm. The origins of this involvement trace to a joint venture between Louis Dreyfus and JPMorgan in the energy trading space. In October 2012, The New York Times reported that Louis Dreyfus and JPMorgan planned to sell their energy trading venture, a transaction that ultimately led to the formation of what became Castleton Commodities International.

The Financial Times reported on the structure of the commodities venture and Dubin's role as an investor in the entity that emerged from the JPMorgan and Louis Dreyfus transaction.

Dubin & Co.

Dubin serves as the Principal of Dubin & Co. LP, a private investment company through which he manages his personal investments and business interests. The firm operates as a family office–style vehicle for Dubin's portfolio of investments across multiple sectors.

Corbin Capital Partners

Dubin has been linked to Corbin Capital Partners, a hedge fund of funds firm. In 2005, Pensions & Investments reported on the firm's renaming to Corbin Capital Partners, noting connections to Dubin's broader network in the alternative investment industry.

Investment Approach and Industry Profile

Over his career, Dubin has been profiled in major financial publications including the Financial Times, Forbes, and Fortune. A 2012 Fortune article discussed Dubin in the context of prominent investors and their approaches to markets. The Financial Times covered aspects of Dubin's investment activities on multiple occasions, including a 2006 report on hedge fund strategies and a 2010 profile related to his activities in the financial markets.

Forbes lists Dubin as a billionaire, classifying his wealth as derived from hedge fund management.

Philanthropy

Dubin is a founding board member of the Robin Hood Foundation, a charitable organization focused on poverty alleviation in New York City. The Robin Hood Foundation, established in 1988, has become one of the most prominent charitable organizations targeting poverty in the New York metropolitan area, and Dubin's involvement from its founding has been a significant element of his public profile.

Together with his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, a physician and former model, the Dubins have made philanthropic gifts in the areas of medical research, education, and public service leadership. Their gift to Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership at the Kennedy School established a fellowship fund supporting emerging leaders in public service. The Harvard Crimson reported on the fellowship program and the Dubins' engagement with the center, which is led by David Gergen.

The Dubins have also supported medical institutions. The Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York bears their name, reflecting their financial support for cancer care and breast health services at the hospital. Eva Andersson-Dubin, who trained as a physician, has been involved in the center's development and in broader health-related philanthropy.

An Inside Philanthropy profile published in September 2025 provided an overview of the Dubins' charitable giving, noting Dubin's origins in the Washington Heights housing projects and his trajectory to becoming a significant philanthropic figure in New York.

Personal Life

Dubin is married to Eva Andersson-Dubin, a Swedish-born physician and former fashion model. The couple has three children. The family has residences in New York.

Eva Andersson-Dubin had a prior relationship with financier Jeffrey Epstein before her marriage to Glenn Dubin. This connection has drawn significant public and media attention, particularly following the release of court documents and U.S. Department of Justice files related to the Epstein investigations.

Jeffrey Epstein Connection

The Dubin family's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been the subject of extensive media reporting. Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in August 2019, had maintained social and financial ties to the Dubins for years. Eva Andersson-Dubin dated Epstein before marrying Glenn Dubin, and the families reportedly remained in contact even after Epstein's 2008 conviction in Florida on state prostitution charges.

In February 2026, Bloomberg News reported on newly released Department of Justice files that revealed additional details about Epstein's financial connections to the Dubins. The reporting described how Epstein leveraged his relationship with the family to gain introductions and access within the hedge fund industry, with the headline "'Eva Dubin Gave Me Your Email': How Jeffrey Epstein Got Into Hedge Funds."

Separately, multiple news outlets reported on emails from 2010 in which Eva Andersson-Dubin invited Epstein to the family's home during a period when their daughter, Celina Dubin, was fifteen years old. The email, as reported by India Today and WION, referenced the daughter having friends over. The New York Post reported on what it described as Epstein's "obsession" with Celina Dubin, noting that she is now a resident physician at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Politico reported in February 2026 that Epstein received special treatment at Mount Sinai Hospital, enjoying "unusually close access" to doctors at the institution where the Dubins have been significant donors.

Business Insider reported on a document listing 43 people who would have inherited Epstein's approximately $630 million fortune, a document signed two days before Epstein's death. The reporting examined the broader financial and social networks surrounding Epstein.

The Harvard Crimson reported in 2019 on the Dubins' connections to Epstein in the context of unsealed court documents, noting the intersection of the family's philanthropic profile with the Epstein scandal.

Artnet News reported in February 2026 on fallout from the Epstein files affecting various public figures, listing Glenn Dubin among art world and financial figures facing scrutiny alongside collectors Leon Black and Les Wexner.

Glenn Dubin has not been charged with any crimes in connection with the Epstein investigations.

Recognition

Dubin's career in hedge fund management has resulted in his inclusion in Forbes billionaire rankings. His co-founding of Highbridge Capital Management and the firm's subsequent acquisition by JPMorgan Chase were cited as landmark events in the evolution of the alternative asset management industry.

Stony Brook University, Dubin's alma mater, has recognized him as a prominent alumnus. The university's official communications have highlighted his career achievements and philanthropic contributions.

The Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital stands as a named recognition of the Dubin family's philanthropic support for cancer care in New York City.

Dubin's role as a founding board member of the Robin Hood Foundation has been noted as part of his contributions to New York's philanthropic landscape. The foundation, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to combat poverty in New York City, counts Dubin among its original supporters.
