Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on August 19, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Mohamed El-Erian! From steering PIMCO through turbulent markets to advising President Obama on global development, you've always known how to diversify—not just portfolios, but your career too. Retirement from PIMCO clearly didn't mean slowing down; it just meant more time for insightful commentary and fewer early morning meetings.

Your wisdom in economics is timeless—much like the bond market jokes we still pretend to understand. May your birthday be filled with joy, laughter, and absolutely no mention of interest rate hikes. Here's wishing you another year of success, happiness, and perfectly balanced asset allocations!
