Billionaire Financial Expert Ray Dalio Partied His Balls Off In Ibizia For His 77th Birthday, And Couldn't Recommend It More
B17 News- Ray Dalio spent his 77th birthday somewhere most 77-year-olds wouldn’t dream of going: an Ibiza nightclub.
The Bridgewater Associates founder, who completed his exit from the firm in 2025 and now runs his own family office, posted on X this week that he’d had “a blast” at mega-club UNVRS with family and friends, and recommended it to his followers “in case you’re in the neighborhood.”
In a video Dalio posted on X, acrobats perform choreographed dance moves while confetti falls from the ceiling, smoke cannons blast into the air, and thumping dance music plays.
On UNVRS’ website, elrow is described as “a psychedelic adventure of epic proportions.”
“Reality warps beyond all recognition as you blast off through a technicoloured wormhole and Enter The WORTEX, a gateway to escape the routine and explore a parallel world where madness is the only rule,” it adds.
Representatives for Dalio did not immediately respond to a request for comment on his birthday outing.
Ray Dalio is 77 years old, worth twenty billion dollars, founded the biggest hedge fund on Earth, wrote a book called Principles that every LinkedIn guy pretends to have finished, and on his birthday weekend he closed out an Ibiza superclub at 4am and then posted about it like an uncle going through a midlife crisis, reviewing a Cracker Barrel.
"Thought I'd pass it along in case you're in the neighborhood."
As someone who's spent half his life in nightclubs professionally- you gotta understand how funny this is.
UNVRS is the absolue fucking loudest, most sensory-overload place in the entire Mediterranean.
Grown men in their twenties hopped up on enough coke to kill an elephant tap out of there by 2:30. (Not really, but play along with me for blog purposes)
Yet Ray Dalio, a man born in 1949, who spent his twenties teaching chicken farmers to hedge corn futures so McDonald's could launch the McNugget, stood in that place until four in the morning and had the time of his life.
And I believe him yo. There's no publicist alive that's trying to pass off writing "in case you're in the neighborhood." That's a real one.
(Sidebar- beers at UNVRS are 21 euros and waters are 17. I'm guessing Ray probably didn't notice.)
Best part is that David Guetta saw the post and publicly invited him to another insane club, Ushuaïa on Monday night.
The billionaire and the DJ, courting each other on social media for all the world to see. If Ray Dalio showed up for a Guetta residency set at 77 I'm officially retiring every excuse I've ever made for leaving a club early. Radical transparency as he preaches- also radical open-mindedness, radical getting absolutely lit on a Spanish island.
p.s.- Ray isn't even the only Hollywood-adjacent senior raving on that island right now. Nicole Kidman, 59, just told British Vogue her Ibiza routine is dinner at 10:30, club at 1am, and a disguise kit: little brunette wig, sunglasses, roll deep with friends, disappear into the techno. "I'm either playing Scrabble or I'm out." She also popped up at Charli xcx's Brat show in New York like it was nothing. So the current Ibiza dancefloor is Ray Dalio, an undercover Oscar winner in a wig, and 4,000 kids who have no idea they're partying with a combined 150 years of life experience, billion of dollars in net worth, and one of the prettiest movie stars to ever live.
