Known as Billionaires' Row, this set of slender high-rise residences has transformed the skyline of New York City, thanks to developer-friendly policies and a seemingly endless gush of cash from tech, finance, and foreign oligarchs.

Based on far-reaching access to real estate's power players, Clarke's account brings readers inside one of the world's most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the world's one-percenters--units to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with eye-popping stories that bring the new era of extreme wealth inequality into vivid relief, \u003ci\u003eBillionaires' Row\u003c\/i\u003e is a juicy, gimlet-eyed account of the genius, greed, and financial one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the world--a stranger-than-fiction saga of broken partnerships, broken marriages, lawsuits, and, for a few, fleeting triumph.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49530460111121,"sku":"GOR013319046","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49677834223889,"sku":"CIN0593240065VG","price":6.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751484465425,"sku":"NGR9780593240069","price":38.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469671600401,"sku":"CIN0593240065G","price":8.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50715311014161,"sku":"CIN0593240065A","price":13.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51214954627345,"sku":"NIN9780593240069","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52574933975313,"sku":"GOR014554688","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53482122641681,"sku":"GOR014942269","price":11.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0593240065.jpg?v=1751425814","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/billionaires-row-book-katherine-clarke-9780593240069","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
