| book description |

From the founders in the late nineteenth century to Robert Wood ""Woody"" Johnson IV, billionaire owner of the New York Jets, the Johnson dynasty mirrors the Kennedy clan in its propensity for scandal and tragedy. Now all is revealed in this scrupulously researched unauthorized biography by Jerry Oppenheimer. The New York Times bestselling author of biographies of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Hiltons and Martha Stewart, Oppenheimer uncovers the very private lives of the Johnson family, their immense power, their extraordinary wealth, and provocative dramas: The Thrice-married Johnson heiress whose lovers included a Wall Street baron's daughter and, reputedly, a First Lady; The failed suicides of a prominent Johnson brother and sister, and their bizarre marriages and kinky sex games; The health-obsessed dynasty ruler who abandoned his son and his mother because they were too fat; and, The Johnson wife and mother - her photos once festooned a mobster's prison cell - who would walk away with a claimed $100 million divorce settlement. Based on scores of exclusive, on-the-record interviews with family, friends, business associates, lovers, and detractors, Crazy Rich serves up a host of revelations about the family that was once termed perhaps the most dysfunctional family in the Fortune 500.
