The Inside Story of the Man Who Powers Westfield. Frank Lowy is Australia's richest man. As he has grown wealthy over the past forty years, so thousands of Australians have grown wealthy with him. A one-time refugee, he is now a multibillionaire. It's also the gripping account of a Jewish Slovakian-Hungarian boy whose character was forged in the fire of the Holocaust. Corporate titan, family man, philanthropist, cultural ambassador, soccer enthusiast, advocate for Jewish causes - Frank Lowy is a man of many parts. An investment of $1000 in Westfield shares when the company went public in 1960 was worth $133.2 million (assuming all dividends and benefits were reinvested in Westfield shares) at the end of 2000. This performance is unrivalled in Australia and outstrips the growth offered by internationally renowned investment figures such as George Soros and Warren Buffet. This book provides a rare insight into how he operates and into the strategies behind his business success. In so doing, it reveals an ultra-determined, hyperkinetic and fascinating individual for whom failure is not an option.
