Publisher's Synopsis
What does it take to build a $64 billion financial empire from nothing but intelligence, ambition, and a willingness to take risks? Kenneth C. Griffin didn't just climb the ranks of Wall Street-he reshaped it entirely. From trading bonds in his Harvard dorm room to leading one of the most powerful hedge funds and market-making firms in the world, his journey is one of innovation, controversy, and relentless drive.
But who is the man behind the billions?
This book pulls back the curtain on Griffin's meteoric rise, his revolutionary impact on finance, and the battles he fought along the way-from surviving financial crises to facing public scrutiny during the GameStop frenzy. You'll discover how he built Citadel into a global powerhouse, how he outmaneuvered rivals with cutting-edge technology, and why his influence extends far beyond Wall Street-into politics, philanthropy, and the very structure of modern markets.
Whether you admire him as a financial genius or question his influence over the system, one thing is certain: Kenneth Griffin is a force who changed the rules of finance forever.
Read this book to uncover the untold story of a hedge fund pioneer who didn't just play the game-he rewrote it.
