Billion Dollar Whale by Bradley Hope & Tom Wright Book Summary

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios).

Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history.

In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street.

By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation.

Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.

Wow!. Can’t wait for the movie!

Great book with lots of twists. One of better books out there, very interesting story.

Fun Read. A great truth of the lie and a better lie of the truth.

Excellent , factually dense reprting. See above. Fascinating look into the loose reality behind the veneer of procedures, rules, and regulations that supposedly restrain the super richl

If it weren't true.... There would be no way I would believe it. The book does a good job of outlining the antics, tactics, and lifestyle of the criminals behind one of the biggest cons to date.

Gripping. The level of corruption is unimaginable both in terms of the dollars, nationalities and corporate players. I couldn’t follow all the machinations of the schemes, but the end result is incredible. One thing for sure: I’ll never look at celebrity sightings in the same way again. All bought and paid for.

Too much, too many names. All the names, places, and positions. Way too many, hard to keep track of who is who and I’m only four chapters in.

Brilliant story, sadly true. Superbly written, huge background work, could not put it down! Must read 2018

The man who conned the world. Billion Dollar Whale is an exceptional book by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope that chronicles the larger than life exploits of the still at large Jho Low who fooled the entire world into believing that he was a billionaire. When the gig was up it would bring down politicians, celebrities and bankers who associated with him. Low was the mastermind behind the looting of billions from Malaysia’s 1MDB state-owned fund. Billion Dollar Whale is a blow by blow account of how he did it. If you’ve ever had a dream of being a billionaire then you get to live vicariously through Low. But, alas, in the end it was just a dream.

A compelling read. Recommended read by Bill Gates who knows a thing or two about wealth. Excellent book, couldn't put it down. Scary the way a large percentage of the 1% acquire and squander 99%'s hard earned money.
