Sam Zell is the chairman of Equity Group Investments, the private investment firm he founded in 1968, and the chairman of five NYSE companies. He is an entrepreneur and investor who is active in a diverse range of industries, such as energy, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and communications, and of course real estate. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Helen.
“The notoriously blunt businessman shares the ups and downs of his
career and the lessons he’s learned in business—with just a little
profanity—in a new book, Am I Being Too Subtle?”
--The Wall Street Journal
“Here we have the real Sam Zell: one of our nation’s most
interesting, provocative, and successful practitioners of business
and life. He’s a wise man who hates fuzzy thinking. He is a biker,
wearer of leathers and jeans and boots and his signature quirky
beard. He points his skis straight downhill. You know, all the
usual things that the few really smart (but not too smart for their
own good) business people do.”
--Steve Roth, chairman and CEO of Vornado Realty Trust
“A highly readable and revealingly personal book filled
with unique insights and unvarnished straight talk about
business, people—their quirks and potentials—and about life
itself.”
--The Huffington Post
