All the money in the world how the Forbes 400 make--and spend--their fortunes

Bernstein, Peter W. (Added Author). Swan, Annalyn. (Added Author). Cashman, Marc. (Added Author). Forbes Inc. (Added Author). OverDrive, Inc. (Added Author).

Summary: See how the superrich succeed, how fortunes are made in various industries, and how, once made, they are saved, enhanced, and sometimes squandered. From Wall Street to the West Coast, from blue-collar billionaires to blue-blood fortunes, from the Google guys to hedge fund honchos, All the Money in the World gives us the lowdown on, among other things: the all-time richest Americans, who made and lost the most money in the past twenty-five years, the fields and industries that have produced the greatest wealth, the biggest risk takers, the most competitive players, the most wasteful family feuds, the trophy wives, the most conspicuous consumers, the biggest art collectors, the most and least generous philanthropists.

  • AudioFile Reviews : AudioFile Reviews 2008 August/September
    Substance and impact are palpable in this fascinating audio about the life stories and financial strategies of America's richest people. Based on magazine and newspaper articles and many first-person interviews, it describes some of the most messianic, eccentric, and risk-taking people you'll ever hear about. Celebrity media and entertainment giants are part of the group, and their often grandiose approaches to making money will energize entrepreneurs everywhere. With his vocal clarity and deftly restrained enthusiasm, Rick Adamson was an excellent choice to deliver this entertaining business book. Along with the cogent abridgement of the text, his comfortable diction and obvious admiration for this material move the stories along smartly and make it hard to pause at any point. T.W.

  • AudioFile Reviews : AudioFile Reviews 2008 February/March
    The rags-to-riches stories of America's wealthiest people, those on the "Forbes 400" list, are told in epic fashion by Rick Adamson. His voice has the quality of a movie voice-over, which keeps listeners engaged through the hundreds of anecdotes on millionaires and billionaires, bankruptcies of huge proportions, and listings of approximate net worth to the tune of billions of dollars. Listening to the biographies of the hundreds of people who have been on the "Forbes 400" since the list's inception is informative and often amusing. Adamson treats each vignette like an anecdote, told to a friend, with all the requisite pacing to build suspense. M.R. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
