Love, pain & money : the making of a billionaire
Caudwell, John2022
Books, Manuscripts
Born in a terraced house in Stoke-on-Trent, John Caudwell went from bullied child to insecure trainee engineer at a local Michelin plant to self-made billionaire. It was at a car auction in 1987, the height of Mrs Thatcher's booming Britain, that he spotted the future. A mobile phone that came in an unwieldy suitcase. Within two decades Caudwell sold his Phones 4u business for £1.46 billion. 'Love, Pain & Money' retraces the inspirational journey, from the very shaky beginnings of his phone empire to owning yachts, private planes, a fleet of top flight cars, a Jacobean mansion in the Midlands and London's most expensive home (featured in a Channel 4 documentary). It's a fascinating insight into the drive, ambition, focus and vision required to become a billionaire.
