Více o knize

Born into poverty, Bernie Ecclestone transformed himself into a billionaire through the development of Formula One racing, the world's second most popular sport. Now eighty, he navigates the globe in his private jet, mingling with celebrities and influential figures. His remarkable journey is not only about building a multibillion-pound enterprise but also about fending off numerous attempts to wrest control from him. For the first time, Ecclestone shares how he evolved from selling second-hand cars in London's Warren Street to becoming a key player in the racing world. He opens up about his life, revealing the deals, marriages, disasters, and successes that shaped his career in Formula One, politics, casinos, and beyond. In a surprising move, he has allowed Tom Bower, known as 'The Undertaker' for his reputation-burying skills, to access his inner circle, encouraging them to share the unvarnished truth about him. This narrative presents a classic rags-to-riches tale, offering a unique glimpse into the life of an extraordinary man and the world of Formula One racing, business, and the resilience of the human spirit. Tom Bower has authored numerous biographies, including those of notable figures such as Robert Maxwell and Simon Cowell.
