Synopsis Business titan Ted Turner shares the story of his life and describes how he became a successful, and extremely wealthy, entrepreneur. From his lonely childhood spent at a boarding school to his role in the establishment of cable television, to his romantic entanglements, Turner is frank about the highs and lows of his life. Turner is also blunt about his dealings with such other "movers and shakers" as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as well as political leaders ranging from Jimmy Carter to Fidel Castro. Mixed throughout the text are "Ted Stories" written by Turner's friends and family (including ex-wife Jane Fonda) that give readers greater insight into the mind of this American original.
