Never Enough by Joe McGinniss
This is the sad, but true, story of love, greed and tragedy. The author gives the reader the backgrounds of Robert Kissel and Nancy Keeshin, the family situations they were each brought up in, how they met, their early married years, his meteoric rise in the investment banking industry, her enjoyment of their over-the-top wealth, their life in Hong Kong, and the decline of the marriage. Neither Rob nor Nancy is a paragon of virtue; greed runs Rob’s father and brother; Nancy is a demanding, obnoxious snob.
The author says he had help from both families writing this book, so it must be close to the truth. Only the names of the children were changed. It’s sad that money causes so much greed that a family is destroyed because zillions of dollars is never enough.
This is not the kind of story I usually pick up, but it’s always interesting to see how the other half lives. And it's definitely a quick read.
