Summary: Charles Clore truly had the Midas touch. The son of a Jewish tailor from London's East End, he began his carrer as the owner of the Prince of wales theatre. Gradually expanding his interests into property engineering and shipping, he was just another clever financier. But then, in the early 1950s, his business genius revealed itself through his brilliant takeover of the moribund Sears Holding against the wishes of its directors- behaviour that was both unprecedented and condemned at time. From then no, through numerous takeovers, his empire grew until he became a household name. But while all he touched in business turned to gold, everything in his personal life turned to dust. For all his wealth, the richest man in England was desperately unhappy.
