Reborn Heiress to a Financial Empire: Taking Control of America's Destiny

[No romance] + [business warfare] + [political maneuvering] + [financial dynasty] A top Wall Street vulture-fund manager, cold-blooded, rational, and decisive. She wakes up to find herself the only daughter of a New York financial dynasty in 1987: Celeste Huntington. While everyone waits for her to secure the family’s future through marriage... She sets down her champagne and, in the sweetest voice, accurately shoots down her rivals’ business scams at a board meeting: “Your cash flow model is garbage.” “This merger violates the third clause of the SEC’s new regulations.” “Next Monday, the market will plunge by more than 20 percent.” Her father is stunned, her uncles and aunts are horrified, and her fiancé collapses to the floor. From then on, New York’s financial world is turned upside down: While others fight over household power, she reshuffles the capital markets. While socialites compete over couture, she competes over the precision of her short-selling strikes. While suitors send jewelry, she sends her rivals’ companies bankruptcy and liquidation notices. She leverages her family’s affection to access its resources; her beauty to lower her rivals’ guard; and her gender to weave a global network of connections. From raking in her first fortune during the stock market crash, to purging the family’s old guard and swallowing rival conglomerates; from investing in future technologies, to manipulating multinational capital, she builds a financial empire without borders. When a reporter asks her the secret to success, she only smiles: “I just brought Wall Street’s playbook to 1987.” “...And, by the way, I got a prettier body to go with it.”
