Paul Barry uncovers the complex, often contradictory life of James Packer — heir to the vast Packer dynasty — tracing his path from the shadow of his formidable father Kerry Packer through a series of audacious business gambles, spectacular failures, and unlikely reinventions. Written with sharp journalistic precision and a candid, unflinching tone, the narrative details the inner workings of Australia's most powerful media empire while exposing the personal demons, fractured relationships, and reckless decisions that defined Packer's public and private life. Barry argues that behind the glittering facade of extreme wealth lies a man perpetually driven by the need to prove himself, making this portrait as psychologically revealing as it is financially fascinating. Essential reading for anyone interested in corporate power, media dynasties, or the human cost of inherited ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810613244123,"sku":"2026600000013-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9d6c50ff-6ad8-4973-bd0b-92160f6f1ea7.png?v=1779805977","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000013-secondhand-who-wants-to-be-a-billionaire-the-james-packer-story-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
