B. Robert Williamson Jr., a money manager at Chilton Investment Co. and nephew of hedge-fund pioneer Julian Robertson, for whom he once worked, has died during a visit to his native North Carolina. He was 55.
His body was found April 22 in a car pulled from the Intracoastal Waterway near a boat ramp on Figure Eight Island. The private island, east of Wilmington, was inhabited by wild ponies before becoming a vacation locale for privacy seekers such as former Vice President Al Gore and actors Richard Gere and Kim Basinger, according to the Washington Post.
