The renowned hedge fund investor Paul Tudor Jones has been regaling Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein with tales of his early days on Wall Street — including the time he said 'no' to Harvard University.

In an interview with Blankfein screened on Goldman's website, Jones told how in 1980, when he was already an established commodities trader, he was accepted to Harvard Business School but turned his back on the prestigious placement because he did not think he would learn anything.
