I just said group because presumably he wasn't the only investor in those companies, so a group of people stand to profit. If he was the only investor I would have said individual. It's also meant to highlight the fact that multiple people are in on this, whereas an actual black swan event is something that tends to be much more difficult to predict or be a part of.

I would be amazed if someone could go 5/40 in predicting black swan events under their original definition.
