Sandford 'Sandy' Weill is the most important player in today's financial world. He has swallowed up one major company after another, from Smith Barney to Travelers to Salomon Brothers and, his ultimate triumph, control of Citigroup - the world's largest financial empire.

A man who's determination and innovation helped him overcome youthful slights and mid-life failure and to take on the financial titans of our time.
