If you like that kind of thing try "The Founding Father", which is the story of Joe Kennedy Sr. The snippet that I remember from years ago was the tale of his wife reading in the newspaper that he had established 10 million $ Trusts for each of his children, and not believing it until she asked him, because she was still on a limited housekeeping budget. Not bad for the son of a bartender.

Lots of good books about people with fire in their belly.

Happy reading!
Cheers

Really, you like the book? It is a long read, is it not?

I had to put it down only because of prior commitments for a time, I'll get back to it. I'm somewhere in the Sheiks section.

It is quite interesting how the followers of Allah can bend their religion with the best of them. It is against their religion for them to make interest on their money, but when it's a "Return on Investment" it's not the same thing.
