The Reichmanns : Family, Faith, Fortune, and the Empire of Olympia & York by Anthony Bianco


Amazon.com
The Reichmann family was not typical of those who made their fortunes in the 1980s. While others marked their wealth with conspicuous consumption and flashy lifestyles, the Orthodox Reichmann brothers maintained traditional religious observations, shutting down construction on their extensive real-estate developments to observe the sabbath and Jewish holidays. Nevertheless, their immense fortune and entrepreneurial drive helped shape the skylines of Toronto, New York, and London. This extensive biography expertly traces the rise of the Reichmann clan from their beginnings in Hungary in the 1920s to the dizzying heights of success the family reached in the 1980s, when their worth was an estimated $10 billion, to the eventual bankruptcy of their firm Olympia & York and the family's terrific fall from influence and power. Bianco, a sensitive and intelligent storyteller, captures this complex saga in complete detail.
