The Origin of The Missing Billionaires Book

Victor Haganee explains that the idea for the book The Missing Billionaires emerged much later after his experience at Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). The book was inspired by a framework that he wished he had access to during his time at LTCM. Collaborating with his eventual co-author, James White, they identified a gap in personal finance literature and tailored the book to appeal to a younger audience.
