Wall Street has a pantheon of fascinating heroes-and downright villains-who have shaped the face of the contemporary investment world and transformed a narrow street in lower Manhattan into a cultural icon recognized the world over. Who hasn't heard of the achievements and exploits of legends such as Warren Buffett, John Neff, Alan Greenspan, Peter Lynch, John Meriwether, Michael Milken, or George Soros and wondered what the people behind the deeds (or misdeeds) were really like, what they really did, and how?\u003cbr\u003e Wall Street People is a marvelous collection of fascinating profiles of the most interesting, powerful, and talked-about financial luminaries ever to light up the investment world. From influential money managers to ingenious private investors, and from rising stars to fallen heroes, these financial heavyweights have created and performed the great roles on Wall Street-with brilliant stories of money won and lost, amazing financial coups, blind ambition, and brazen cons.\u003cbr\u003e Going behind the image, Wall Street People provides a close look at the personal and professional lives of these powerful, financial personalities and offers inside glimpses into where they got their starts, how they attained their success, what keeps them going, and what earned them fame-or in certain cases-notoriety.
