SUMMARY | |
Summary | "'Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.' Woody Allen. Presumably a sentiment shared by billionaire Eli Broad, who used his American Express card to buy Lichtensteins painting I Im Sorry for $2.5 million, earning him enough air miles to take him and eight friends to the moon and back. Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly, Hollywood star George Raft told his bank manager. What do you suppose Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond told theirs when they burnt a million quid in the name of art? Peter Pughs deft combination of money, history and incredible money facts reveals that its really not something to worry about its value will soon change. From the very serious to the utterly ridiculous, It's Only Money tells you how to buy yourself an £8,000 lunch, why children are a bad investment, and how the Queen has somehow spent £5 billion in fifteen years."--Back cover. |
