Michael Burry earned millions by betting against subprime-mortgage bonds in advance of the 2008 housing meltdown.
His short trade was popularized by Michael Lewis' bestselling book "The Big Short," and the movie in which he was portrayed by Christian Bale.
These days, he runs Scion Asset Management, a Cupertino, California-based hedge fund that owns $93.6 million worth of assets.
He hasn't stopped sounding alarms where he sees them. Most recently, Burry warned that passive investing is a "bubble."

His comments related to the trend of hedge funds and index-fund managers piling into a small collection of large-cap companies. The consolidation of capital leaves smaller growth stocks desperate for cash, Burry said.
"The bubble in passive investing through ETFs and index funds as well as the trend to very large size among asset managers has orphaned smaller value-type securities globally," he told Bloomberg.
Burry is doing some active stock picking of his own, and recently told Barron's he was going long on GameStop.
The list below shows his firm's 15 largest positions by descending order of market value, according to data from regulatory filings and news reports compiled by Bloomberg.
