Here's a guy who won the equivalent of £350,000 on a horse race
when he was just 16 years old, made international headlines at 21
for eloping with the daughter of one of the world's richest men,
employed 400 people by the time he was 23, and went on to become
one of the most ruthless and cunning corporate raiders in the US
during the 80s, and then emerged in the 90s as one of the most
prominent anti-globalisation and anti-EU voices, helping to lay
the foundation for what would become Brexit. And all the while
publicly juggling his time between his ex-wife, his current wife,
and his mistress. It's a cracking story – enjoy.
