Description of  Billionaires' Row Tycoons, High Rollers, and the Epic Race to Build the World's Most Exclusive Skyscrapers [Audiobook]

And chances are most of us will never be invited to step inside. In Billionaires' Row, Katherine Clarke reveals the captivating story of how, in just a few years, the ruthless real-estate impresarios behind these "supertalls" lining 57th Street turned what was once a run-down strip of Midtown into the most exclusive street on Earth, as legendary Trump-era veterans went toe-to-toe with hungry upstart developers in an ego-fueled "race to the sky." Based on far-reaching access to real estate's power players, Clarke's account brings listeners inside one of the world's most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the world's one-percenters-units to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash.
