His grandfather, Charles Payson Coleman, who was managing partner of the New York law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell until his death in 1982, was married to Mimi C.

Coleman started his career in 1997, working for Julian Robertson and the latter's hedge fund, Tiger Management.[11] He had grown up with Robertson's son, Spencer, who lived close to Glen Head, in Locust Valley. In 2000, Robertson closed his fund, and entrusted Coleman with over $25 million to manage, making him one of the 30 or more so-called "Tiger Cubs", fund managers who started their fund management careers with Tiger Management.[4] "I've known Chase since he was a young boy on Long Island and a good friend of my son Spencer," [Julian] Robertson said.[12]
Coleman serves as partner of the investment firm he founded, Tiger Global Management. The hedge fund was an early investor in both Facebook and LinkedIn.[13][14]
On the Forbes 2019 list of the world's billionaires, he was ranked #458 with a net worth of US$4.5 billion.[11] According to Business Insider, he was born into "old money" and has made a lot of "new money" as well.[15] According to Institutional Investor, he made an estimated $2.5 billion in 2020.[16]

In 2012 Coleman donated US$31,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and US$5,000 to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.[4] He has also donated to Democratic candidates, including $10,000 to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, $4,950 to Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, and $2,700 to New York Senator Charles Schumer.[citation needed]

Harrison Jr., at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Palm Beach, Florida, in 2005.[7][17] She is a Wellesley College graduate who worked in investment banking for Merrill Lynch and Marketing and PR for Anne Klein and Vera Wang.[18] Ercklentz was featured in the film Born Rich, a 2003 documentary about growing up in the world's richest families.[19] Her mother, Mai Harrison (née Vilms), is the grand-niece of Jüri Vilms, a member of the Estonian Salvation Committee and leader of the Estonian Independence Movement.[20]
