Więcej o książce

David Gold is a remarkable man with an even more improbable story.Pure Gold is one of the most amazing rags to riches stories ever told because this one begins on the very bottom rung of the ladder and finishes at the very top for this self-made multi-millionaire.The beguiling tale starts with genuinely abject poverty and extreme ill health in the back streets of the East End of London in the austerity of the war years, and concludes with an extensive business empire, private helicopters and jets, and a magnificent mansion in the heart of the Surrey countryside.Most importantly to Gold, he also won a significant personal battle over his despised father.The entrepreneurial businessman is now the charismatic chairman of West Ham United Football Club. He owns Gold Group International, one of the most profitable private businesses in the United Kingdom. It is the parent company of retailer Ann Summers, lingerie chain Knickerbox, Gold Aviation. In May 2005 he bought the oldest surviving FA Cup trophy for almost half a million pounds at auction to prevent it going to Germany.
