Based on far-reaching access to real estates power players, Clarkes account brings readers inside one of the worlds most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the worlds one-percenters-units to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash.Filled with eye-popping stories that bring the new era of extreme wealth inequality into vivid relief, Billionaires Row is a juicy, gimlet-eyed account of the genius, greed, and financial one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the world-a stranger-than-fiction saga of broken partnerships, broken marriages, lawsuits, and, for a few, fleeting triumph.
