His legacy of a deep and boundless commitment to family, faith and generosity holds timeless lessons for us all, no matter what journey we find ourselves on. Absorbing, highly-recommended reading." --Michael J. Fox "Anyone who knew my treasured friend Edmond Safra was keenly aware that he was a remarkable person: thoughtful, welcoming, intelligent. With this definitive account of his life, a broader audience can marvel at his accomplishments, remember his enduring contributions, and carry forward the lessons of a life lived with purpose and humility." --Elton John "This is an extraordinary book about a remarkable man. Edmond J. Safra may be best known as an immensely successful global financier, but he was a person of many significant qualities: devoted to his family, his faith, and to the deep value of education for individuals from many backgrounds. He gave generously to several universities, and the story of his life is now told in an exceptional way, with fine scholarly detail that makes vivid all the humane aspects of this exceptional human being." --Neil L.

Lauder, Chairman Emeritus of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. "Edmond Safra's life and career were unique in many ways. A daring entrepreneur and successful banker, he created an innovative,prosperous, and respected financial network around the world. An aesthete,collector, and great patron of the arts, he had an inexhaustible curiosity thatembraced many areas. As a philanthropist, he left his mark on the 20th century by actively committing himself to numerous causes with faith, attention, and discipline. I am delighted that Daniel Gross's biography goes through the different stages of Edmond's rich life and pays tribute to an extraordinary man." --Francois Pinault, founder of Kering and Artemis

SynopsisWho was Edmond J. Safra? "The greatest banker of his generation," in the estimation of a former World Bank President. The founder of four massive financial institutions on three continents, and a proud child of Beirut's Jewish quarter. An innovative avatar of financial globalization, and a faithful heir to a tradition of old-world banking. The leading champion and protector of the Sephardic diaspora. In A Banker's Journey financial journalist and historian Daniel Gross, who, like Safra, traces his heritage to Aleppo, Syria, reconstructs the public life of an intensely private man. With exclusive access to Safra's personal archives, Gross tracks the banker's remarkable journey from Beirut to Milan, São Paulo, Geneva, and New York--to the pinnacle of global finance. Edmond Safra was fifteen in 1947, when his father sent him to establish a presence in Milan, Italy. Fluent in six languages, and with an eye for value, managing risk, and personal potential, Safra was in perpetual motion until his tragic death in 1999. The modern, global financial empire he built was based on timeless principles: a banker must protect his depositors and avoid excessive leverage and risk. In an age of busts and bailouts, Safra posted remarkable returns while rarely suffering a credit loss. From a young age, Safra assumed the mantle of leadership in the Syrian-Lebanese Jewish community, providing personal aid, supporting the communities that formed in exile, and championing Sephardic religious and educational efforts in Israel and around the world. Edmond J. Safra's life of achievement in the twentieth century offers enduring lessons for those seeking to make their way in thetwenty-first century. He inspired generations to make the world a better place., The remarkable life and career of Edmond J. Safra: the most successful banker of the second half of the 20th century; protector of the global Sephardic Jewish community; philanthropist; and collector. From the age of fifteen to a career spanning Europe, and North and South America, across six languages, Safra built a global financial empire while staying true to his family legacy., The remarkable life and career of Edmond J.
