Reviews
"Anupreeta Das's brilliantly written and ambitiously reported Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King shows--through the complicated and fascinating story of a single tycoon--how the power and the perils of enormous wealth shape and distort not only what we expect of our democratic institutions, our tax system, our public health infrastructure, and our expectations for the future; it also examines how all of us are complicit in, but often aware of, the ways in which the wealthy use that wealth and that power to turn greed into generosity and immorality into heroism." --Jesse Eisinger, Pulitzer Prize - winning author of The Chickenshit Club, "With delicious stories and dogged attention to detail, Anupreeta Das delves into the paradox of Bill Gates: a man whose intellectual prowess and vast wealth simultaneously uplift and complicate the fabric of society. A compelling read about one of the most powerful people on the planet." --Rob Reich, professor of political science at Stanford University and author of Just Giving: Why Philanthropy Is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better, "Anupreeta Das's brilliantly written and ambitiously reported Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King shows--through the complicated and fascinating story of a single tycoon--how the power and the perils of enormous wealth shape and distort not only what we expect of our democratic institutions, our tax system, our public health infrastructure, and our expectations for the future; it also examines how all of us are complicit in, but often unaware of, the ways in which the wealthy use that wealth and that power to turn greed into generosity and immorality into heroism." --Jesse Eisinger, Pulitzer Prize - winning author of The Chickenshit Club, "Ms. Das considers different facets of Mr. Gates's life, from his friendship with Warren Buffett and the breakdown of his marriage to the running of his foundation and the management of his wealth. Some of this is eye-opening . . . . But Ms. Das's book is most interesting when it shows how Mr. Gates has influenced other billionaires--how they have emulated him, and how they have not." -- The Economist

Synopsis
From the finance editor of The New York Times , an insightful and illuminating examination of Bill Gates--one of the most powerful and provocative figures of the past four decades--and an exploration of our national fixation on billionaires. Few billionaires have been in the public eye for as long, and in as many guises, as Bill Gates. At first hailed as a tech visionary, the Microsoft cofounder morphed into a ruthless capitalist, only to change yet again when he fashioned himself into a global do-gooder. Along the way, Gates influenced how we think about tech founders, as the products they make and the ideas they sell continue to dominate our lives. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he also set a new standard for high-profile, billionaire philanthropy. But there is more to Gates's story, and here, Das's revelatory reporting shows us that billionaires have secrets and philanthropy can have a dark side. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with current and former employees of the Gates Foundation, Microsoft, academics, nonprofits, and those with insight into the Gates universe, Das delves into Gates's relationships with Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Epstein, Melinda French Gates, and others, to uncover the truths behind the public persona. In telling Gates's story, Das also provides a new way to think about how billionaires wield their power, manipulate their image, and pursue philanthropy to become heroes, repair damaged reputations, and direct policy to achieve their preferred outcomes. "A balanced, perceptive, and thought-provoking portrait of a man and his times" ( Booklist ) Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King is an important story of money and government, wealth and power, and media and image, and the ways in which the world's richest people hold us in their thrall.
