Billion Dollar Whale

*Billion Dollar Whale*, a *New York Times* and international bestseller, exposes the true story of Jho Low, a "modern Gatsby" who orchestrated one of history's biggest financial frauds. This Wharton graduate from Malaysia, aided by Goldman Sachs, swindled over $5 billion from an investment fund. Low financed an unimaginable global lifestyle—from luxury real estate and champagne-drenched parties to Hollywood films like *The Wolf of Wall Street*—all under the noses of global financial watchdogs. Now an international fugitive facing criminal charges, Low's audacious scheme became a symbol of a new threat to the global financial system. Named a Best Book of 2018 by the *Financial Times* and *Fortune*, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) account joins financial classics like *Liar's Poker* as a harrowing parable of hubris and greed.
