The 50 Most Dangerous Families in the World
“Extraordinarily interesting”
Who are the families with the most influence in the world? Very few of us know the Lees, the al-Nahyans, the Quandts, the Safras, or the Wertheimers. We all know, however, Samsung, Manchester City, BMW, Chiquita, and Chanel.
Many of the world’s most influential companies are still family businesses, and many of these families go back many generations, some even to the 18th century. Many of them operate around the world, and some are worth tens of billions of dollars. Still, we know astonishingly little about these families.
This nonfiction title contains larger-than-life characters, unbelievable plots, tragedies, and successes. It offers a comprehensive and surprising perspective on the world’s most important and dangerous families.
