About this product

Product Information

"Voyages deep into the frenzied, complex world of LBO transactions."-- BusinessWeek . "Sheds light on an important chapter in both African-American and American business history."--Earl G. Graves, Publisher, Black Enterprise magazine. When Reginald Lewis was six years old, his grandparents asked his opinion about employment discrimination against blacks. Reg replied simply, "Why should white guys have all the fun?" Why, indeed! Lewis grew up to become the wealthiest black man in history and one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time, reigning over a commercial empire that spanned four continents. At the time of his death in 1993, his personal fortune was estimated at $400 million. " Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun? " traces Lewis's rise from a working- class neighborhood in east Baltimore to Harvard Law School and ultimately into the elite circle of Wall Street deal-makers. Expanding on Lewis's unfinished autobiography, journalist Blair Walker completes a vivid portrait of a proud, fiercely determined man with a razor-sharp tongue--and an intellect to match. He shows how Lewis's lifelong hunger for wealth and personal glory fueled his success on the playing field, in the classroom, and in the boardroom. Walker also provides a rare insider's view of Lewis, the iron-willed negotiator and brilliant business strategist in action as he finesses one phenomenal deal after another. A moving saga of personal courage and determination as well as a virtual how-to book for those who would like to follow in Lewis's footsteps, " Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun? " is every bit as memorable as the man whose story it tells.

Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun
This book is a must read for any person (in America or International) that is aspiring to achieve success in any endeavour. Reginald shows his discipline & "do the work first" mentality to accomplish his goals and help other people achieve success in the process. He is definately an American Hero. I am a Real Estate Investor and this book really explains how to take a deal to close from start to finish with no money down. I just applied the principles he used in the McCall Pattern and Beatrice Leveraged Buyout Deals, and I was able to do an equivalent deal in the Real Estate field. There are many different ways I have found this book to be helpful (Motivational, Historical Information, Finanacial Information, etc.)
