ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD How the Forbes 400 Make--and Spend--Their Fortunes

The rags-to-riches stories of America's wealthiest people, those on the "Forbes 400" list, are told in epic fashion by Rick Adamson. His voice has the quality of a movie voice-over, which keeps listeners engaged through the hundreds of anecdotes on millionaires and billionaires, bankruptcies of huge proportions, and listings of approximate net worth to the tune of billions of dollars. Listening to the biographies of the hundreds of people who have been on the "Forbes 400" since the list's inception is informative and often amusing. Adamson treats each vignette like an anecdote, told to a friend, with all the requisite pacing to build suspense. M.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 08]
