A new book titled “The Gambler: How Penniless Dropout Kirk Kerkorian Became the Greatest Deal Maker in Capitalist History” will be presented in Yerevan. According to release by Edit print publishing house, that initiated the Armenian translation, the book presentation will take place on September 10 in Erebuni Plaza Business Center.
The books is the story of one of America’s wealthiest and least-known financial giants, self-made billionaire Kirk Kerkorian – a pioneering American aviator, movie mogul, risk taker, and business tycoon who transformed Las Vegas and Hollywood to become one of this country’s leading financiers.
The book’s description posted on Amazon reads that investigative reporter William C. Rempel digs deep into Kerkorian’s long-guarded history to introduce a man of contradictions—a poorly educated genius of deal-making, an extraordinarily shy man who pursued the boldest of business ventures, a careful and calculating investor who was willing to bet everything on a single roll of the dice. The Gambler illuminates as never before this little-known self-made entrepreneur and his inspiring legacy.
