Description

Why Will have to White Guys Have The entire Fun? is the inspiring story of Reginald Lewis: lawyer, Wall Street wizard, philanthropist — and the wealthiest black man in American history.

When six-year-old Reginald Lewis overheard his grandparents discussing employment discrimination against African Americans, he asked, “Why Will have to white guys have The entire fun?” This self-assured child would grow up to turn into the CEO of Beatrice International and probably the most successful entrepreneurs ever. At the time of his death in 1993, his personal fortune used to be estimated in way over $400 million and his vast commercial empire spanned four continents. Despite the notoriety surrounding Lewis’s financial coups, little has been written about the life of this remarkable man. Based on Lewis’s unfinished autobiography, in addition to scores of interviews with circle of relatives, friends, and colleagues, the book cuts through the myth and media hype to reveal the man in the back of the legend. What emerges is a vivid portrait of a proud, fiercely decided individual with a razor-sharp tongue — and an intellect to match — who would settle for nothing less than excellence from himself and others.
