The Self-Made Billionaire Effect

More about the book

There are about 800 self-made billionaires in the world today. 25 years ago there were only a fraction of these individuals. So why is the talent gap continuing to widen? And what can we learn from them? John Sviokla and Mitch Cohen set out to answer these questions in the first ever systematic study of self-made billionaires. Drawing on extensive research 120 thorough interviews of different billionaires, the authors explore how billionaires - as creators of mass value - take action, find success, and are different from even some of the world's best leaders and executives.
