The Wolf of Wall Street: the Biography of Finance King Carl Icahn

If you want to make true friends on Wall Street, you might as well get a dog! ——Carl Icahn Carl Icahn, an American super-rich man, was called "the most successful speculator on the planet" by Fortune magazine. He was one of the protagonists of the 1987 movie "Wall Street." His name was often given the terrifying titles of "corporate sniper", "corporate predator" and "ruthless speculator". As early as 1985, he became the spokesperson of "corporate predators" due to his beautiful hostile takeover of Trans World Airlines, which made executives of major companies on Wall Street tremble with fear. In this dramatic biography, the ever-enigmatic Carl Icahn teams up with best-selling business author Mark Stevens to take us behind the scenes of some of the biggest deals in corporate America's history: Icahn's raid on Phillips Petroleum that shaped him His image as a threat; his bold raid on Texaco oil made him $500 million, which was the largest single transaction on the New York Stock Exchange in history; his astonishing acquisition of Trans World Airlines made him a fortune, but as a business manager, he was undoubtedly unqualified. Since the publication of this book, Icahn's performance has become more brilliant and fierce, like a wolf king, proud of Wall Street.
