Devon Dalio, the eldest son of billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, was an American entrepreneur and philanthropist known for his work in finance and his contributions to charitable causes. He was born on March 26, 1978, in Los Angeles, California, to Ray and Barbara Dalio. His grandparents were Ann and Marino Dallolio. Devon Dalio had three siblings—Paul Dalio, filmmaker Matthew Ace Dalio, and a sister. Of Caucasian ethnicity and a practicing Christian, he earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Lafayette College.
Devon Dalio began his professional journey working at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund founded by his father Ray Dalio in 1975. Ray Dalio has served as Co-Chief Investment Officer of the firm since 1985. Devon later became the CEO of the Dalio Family Office, managing the family's private investments and philanthropic ventures for eight years.
He went on to co-found P-Squared Management Enterprises, a private equity firm, where he played a key role as a founding partner. Devon also served on the board of the Dalio Foundation, which supports initiatives in health, education, veterans’ services, and animal welfare. His philanthropic contributions reflected a strong commitment to social impact and community service.
As a key member of the Dalio Foundation, Devon Dalio was actively involved in directing resources toward a wide range of charitable efforts. These included funding for mental health programs, aid for military veterans, disaster relief, and support for animal welfare. He worked to ensure that the foundation’s investments aligned with the family's vision of making a tangible difference in people's lives.
Devon Dalio died tragically in a car accident on December 17, 2020, in Greenwich, Connecticut, at the age of 42. His Audi S6 crashed into a Verizon store at a shopping center and caught fire. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle and the only fatality in the incident. The accident caused extensive damage to the store, and an investigation was launched to determine the exact cause.
Ray Dalio publicly acknowledged his son's death via social media, writing, "It is with great sorrow that I inform you that my 42-year-old son was killed in a car accident yesterday. My family and I ask for privacy during this time of mourning." He followed with, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone else who is suffering such pain. We wish you a blessed holiday season and encourage you to cherish what you have."
Devon Dalio led a private yet fulfilling personal life. He was married and had a daughter, though the names of his wife and child were not publicly disclosed. Despite growing up in a wealthy household, those close to him remembered him not for his affluence, but for his modesty, work ethic, and compassion.
Raised in a family recognized for financial success—the Dalio family—Devon had access to abundant resources, yet he chose to apply himself in business and philanthropic work. His father, Ray Dalio, has an estimated net worth of $18.7 billion, according to Forbes. Devon’s own entrepreneurial efforts, including the founding of P-Squared Private Equity, allowed him to carve an independent legacy within the finance industry.
