A thrilling (Financial Times) fly-on-the-wall account of the ferocious ambition, greed, and one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the world: the new Manhattan megatowers known as Billionaires Rowfrom a staff reporter at The Wall Street JournalDeeply informative, delightfully entertaining, and addictively readable.Diana B. Henriques, bestselling author of The Wizard of LiesA CEO Magazine Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year AwardTo look south and skyward from Central Park these days is to gaze upon a physical manifestation of tens of billions of dollars in global wealth: a series of soaring spires stretching from Park Avenue to Broadway. 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. And chances are most of us will never be invited to step inside.In Billionaires Row, Katherine Clarke reveals the captivating story of how, in just a few years, the ruthless real-estate impresarios behind these supertalls lining 57th Street turned what was once a run-down strip of Midtown into the most exclusive street on Earth, as legendary Trump-era veterans went toe-to-toe with hungry upstart developers in an ego-fueled race to the sky. Based on far-reaching access to real estates power players, Clarkes account brings readers inside one of the worlds most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the worlds one-percentersunits to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash.Filled with eye-popping stories that bring the new era of extreme wealth inequality into vivid relief, Billionaires Row is a juicy, gimlet-eyed account of the genius, greed, and financial one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the worlda stranger-than-fiction saga of broken partnerships, broken marriages, lawsuits, and, for a few, fleeting triumph.
