Description
Sir Thomas Lipton's life was defined by his pursuit of the America's Cup, a yachting trophy that embodied the ultimate in international sport. Yet, it was his remarkable journey to build a global empire of markets, factories, plantations, and stockyards that made him a beloved figure on both sides of the Atlantic. This biography explores not only Lipton's innovative achievements but also the creation of his public persona, shaped by the burgeoning mass media and his own self-promotion. Michael D'Antonio brings to life the surprising careers of this intrepid sailor, gregarious showman, and ingenious self-made millionaire, who became the world's first celebrity CEO. A Full Cup offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a true original, whose legacy extends far beyond his tea empire.
