Money talks, bullsh*t walks - Ben Johnson

Sam Zell, one of history's greatest contrarian investors, started with nothing and worked his way up to a 5 billion real estate fortune. He also made headlines for his tumultuous takeover of Tribune Company which, in less than a year under his ownership, went bankrupt. Real estate expert Ben Johnson draws back the curtain on this colourful mogul, showing Zell's humble origins as the son of Polish immigrants, his early days as a landlord and his astonishing run of dealmaking in unglamorous industries such as cargo containers, fertiliser and plumbing.
