Description: The Complete
Book of Greed romps through the history of human avarice to expose a trove of
unimaginable extravagance. From the ancient Egyptian pharaohs - who filled
their massive burial pyramids with gold in hopes of "taking it with
them" - to today's oil sheiks and corporate chieftains,
Goldberg
humorously details the bizarre lifestyles of the rich and greedy down through
the ages, including the wife who was awarded the largest divorce settlement in
history - $950 million plus property; the billionaire who installed a pay
telephone in his mansion for use by his guests; the maharajah who made his six
Rolls-Royces into garbage trucks; the spectacular swindle that caused Barbara
Walters, Alan Alda, Barbra Streisand, and the chairmen of Pepsico, Citicorp,
and General Electric to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars; and the $100
million party that was held in 62 tents spread over 160 acres.
