The Billionaire Who Wasn't by Conor O'clery
A biography of one of the world's richest and most secretive donors that tells the story of how Chuck Feeney made his millions - buying and selling in post second world war Europe and Asia - and how he spent them, giving to causes around the world as various as hospitals in Vietnam.
'RivetingA..a genuinely fascinating bookA... As one might expect from the best Irish reporter of modern times, O'Clery turns his prodigious research and mastery of sometimes intricate detail into a tight, pacy, crystal-clear narrative.'Irish TimesA"Feeney himself emerges as a complex character, a driven and hard-nosed businessman who asked himself profound questions about the purpose of wealth, and who seems to have devoted as much energy to giving money away as he did to making itA... For America's new generation of internet and private equity billionaires, this is an exemplary tale.A"FT
