Description
Thor Bjorgolfsson is a self-styled adventure capitalist who became Iceland's first billionaire. By his 40th birthday, he had assets of around $4 billion. Among them was investment in Iceland's oldest bank, Landsbanki. However, during the 2008 financial meltdown, Landsbanki crashed, taking Bjorgolfsson with it.
He lost nearly everything, yet amazingly, by 2014 he had made good his losses, repaid his creditors, and rebuilt his empire. This new and extensively revised edition of Billions to Bust - and Beyond brings the buccaneering story of his extraordinary and ambitious achievements fully up to date.
