Number One

Description for NUMBER ONE by Leslie Waller:

The money man

He owned villas in France, Italy, Switzerland, England, Germany and the Caribbean - each outfitted with emperor-sized round beds. Some claimed his ego was so large that it took two women at once to satisfy it - women and a coterie of cash-conscious yes-men, a personal jet fleet, silk shirts and leather accessories soft as butter, smelling of butter. He was a juggler of power and people, keeping an uneasy balance between the broads he bought, the men he bled, the Swiss bankers and mafia musclemen he did business with. He was one step ahead of the SEC, the IRS, and the Justice Department. He was the wheeler dealer king of international finance. He was Number One.
