Synopsis

Peter Munk's roller-coaster career started from zero when he arrived in Canada from Hungary with a few dollars in his pocket. As a young man, he became a sensation with Clairtone, a stereo system that wowed North America, but went bust when it grew too fast. After a couple more mishaps, he made a fortune with a hotel chain in the South Pacific, then lost it all in a calamitous venture into oil and gas. He switched to gold, where he started from scratch - again - and built Barrick Gold into the world's biggest gold-mining company in less than a quarter century. Along the way, he built one of the world's largest real estate companies, TrizecHahn. This book covers the first 35 years, on his way to controlling companies worth more than $ 10 billion. The following two decades will have to wait for the next edition of the biography of this remarkable man.Magnetic, decisive, fearless, Peter Munk thought big and made it big through a combination of brilliant strategy and opportunism. Donald Rumball has penetrated the guarded world of Peter Munk to reveal the unique philosophy, strategies, techniques and leadership that have given him enormous influence over the world gold and investment markets. The cast of characters in his whirlwind career includes several presidents and prime ministers, along with such internationally-renowned characters as Frank Sinatra, Adnan Khashoggi, Brian Mulroney and Munk's own team of select colleagues. Here is a rare and intimate look into the workings of one of the world's finest business minds.
