The Man Who Tried to Buy the World: Jean-Marie Messier and Vivendi Universal - Rilegato
Sinossi
In 1994, Jean-Marie Messier had a dream: to change a 150 year old French water company into a media empire to compete with anything America could produce.
He would spend over $100bn. At the height of his triumphs, he was a hero of the New Economy, a man who had successfully brought together the old and new with his unique vision of the future. By 2000 the empire combined music, publishing, telecom, cinema, theme parks, water supply, videogames, commuter trains, the internet and waste management.
In 2002, as the financial markets fell, Messier's debt became impossible and he was ousted in a boardroom coup. This portrait of one of today's most brilliant and flawed businessmen is a real life morality tale of our times.
