It wasn't that the 98-year-old billionaire had died suddenly. It wasn't because of any scandals or controversies in the life of Kirk Kerkorian. No, it was the detailed story of an extraordinary life lived for the most part outside the headlines -- bey0nd the spotlights. This son of immigrants born in Fresno, California, had gone from penniless to prosperous on a grand scale, had given away billions without becoming famous or naming buildings after himself, and had been a daring aviator before becoming a daring financier. What shocked this veteran well-informed editor was the mere surprise of discovery. As she exclaimed: "How could anyone so fascinating be someone I've never heard of?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6647d46b4275b536446138ef/1728094863655-GW9AW1S4QX7E5PB30SRZ/Kirk%2BA.jpg Extra Pieces - Kerkorian: Flier, Fighter, Financier - Make it stand out Kirk, the young flight instructor before the war.
