Reviews call this book a compelling account os a miserable yet fascinating man who became the richest man in the world, who ever paid $500 or less in taxes, and left behind a reputation as the savviest, most compelling, and contradictory business genius ever. But he wasn't all business.You'll also read about his marrying 3 teenage girls within 5 years, marrying twice more, without divorcing one wife first, and surrounded himself with beauties constantly. How did he have time for all that, especially when you find that he had a romance going with Hitler -- so dangerous that the State Department took away his passport!
