The remarkable story of how Michael Bloomberg created a media empire

"Lots of entrepreneurs make money. Lots of entrepreneurs who make money write books. Few of those books make you glad they did. This one does."
—The New York Times Book Review

"A classic tale of a nimble, customer-focused, entrepreneurial David outsmarting bureaucratic, ossified, corporate Goliaths."
—Business Week

"Entertaining, engaging, and informative, Bloomberg by Bloomberg is packed with great advice about how to start a lean, hungry company-and how to keep it that way."
—Bryan Burrough, coauthor, Barbarians at the Gate

Brash, aggressive, and supremely self-confident, Michael Bloomberg, the visionary leader of the world's fastest-growing media empire, has been hailed as the new standard for what it takes to win in the Information Age. Dismissed from Salomon Brothers in 1981, Bloomberg immediately took his money and acerbic personality and started Bloomberg L.P. Bolstered by a $30 million investment from Merrill Lynch, the company and the man have been sprinting ahead of the pack ever since. Only twenty years after founding, he's at the top of his industry. And on June 5, 2001, he added mayoral candidate for New York City to his list of accomplishments and aspirations. If elected, powerhouse Michael Bloomberg will bring his own brand of leadership-and personal style-to the city that never sleeps.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Members of the world's financial communities are increasingly securing the information that drives them from Michael Bloomberg. His specialized media--including manipulable online data feeds, a global newswire, and extensive magazine and broadcast outlets--have turned the business of business news upside down. Along the way, he's made a substantial fortune and a significant name for himself. In Bloomberg by Bloomberg, he reveals (with help from colleague Matthew Winkler) how it all came to be. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

Media moguls are hard to like. Rupert Murdoch may be a visionary, but would you want to work for him? Ted Turner may be a risk taker, but aren't you glad he didn't take over CBS? So it's an achievement that Michael Bloomberg has written an instructive and engaging autobiography. -- The New York Times Book Review, William C. Taylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Excellent financial history book

ByJ. Beydaon July 20, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Fascinating book about the origins, and mid life of one of the greatest enterprises ever undertaken. Geek does good, and changes 3 or 4 industries in the process. The Bloomberg terminal is ubiquitous on Wall Street, Bloomberg News has become one of the most respected independent sources in the world, and market data/economic releases are the industry standard. A microscopic look at the dynamics at Salomon Brothers, and probably the greatest employee firing in history. Begs for an update by the man himself for 2015.

Great Man, Mediocre Book

ByBillon March 26, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I am an admirer of Bloomberg. I think he's one the greatest business and government leaders of our time. Unfortunately, he is not a strong writer. Parts of this book read like an advertisement for working at Bloomberg. Other parts project coming technical changes that were probably platitudes at the time and history now.

Inspiring, full of advices and life experiences.

ByJorge Aquijeon April 5, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I consider Bloomberg, a company which is always on top of everything, it is without a doubt the most important source of business news and information. After reading, this book i understand why. Michael bloomberg show us how he created his company, why prefer do it by himself than buying other companies, seeing improvements every day and beleive in his people. I know understand why he said succes does not get by revolutionary things if not by evolutionary things. Hard word, share, lucky and honesty by yourself and your people and have a good ego help to obtain what you want. Great book.

brilliant workaholic, egomaniac and narcissistic character

ByMihail Peleahon February 23, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Michael Bloomberg telling his story of being Bloomberg--billionaire from the working class, brilliant workaholic, egomaniac and narcissistic character, caring leader of family-like team, zealous capitalist nurturing socialism in his company, stubborn and innovative, honest and clear-thinking leader. The book uncover the complex character of Michael Bloomberg, a man who influenced the whole way of doing information business and who managed to deliver IT project on time and within budget. I like very much his stories of Bloomberg raise and especially Management 101 section. Contrary I find Chapters on family and philanthropy quite weak. The former could be summarized as “Not your business!”. The latter concludes “I have no plans to run for public office” (written in 1997), which contradicts with decision taken 3 years later to run for NY Mayor.
Overall this is the great book by the great business leader, if you takes his egoism with a grain of salt.

good autobiography but it ends in 2001 so we learn nothing about Bloomberg as Mayor of New York during the One World Trade Center construction because there are incredible coincidences between Mister BLOOMberg and Leopold BLOOM the hero of James Joyce Ulysses as I have read in this fabulous book “Jack the Ripper James Joyce Stanley Kubrick, the real story and his identities”Jack the Ripper James Joyce Stanley Kubrick: the real story and his identities

Good book written by a good man.

ByWilliam Beckon October 25, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

"Bloomberg by Bloomberg" is pretty good. Published before 9/11 (July 2001), the author writes mostly about his business experience, managerial wisdom, suggestions for living a quality life, philanthropy, and a lot about himself, though you won't find anything about his campaign or three terms serving the city as mayor. I recommend this title for anyone who is looking for a casual, organically-written book about business. The author is funny and wise, and the writing oozes with optimism and charisma. At the end of the day, I think you'll find it a pretty decent book.

Salesman

ByNancyhuaon November 21, 2011

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Reading Bloomberg's perspective on his own success was revelatory on several levels. The transformation from a terminal based business to a news service provider to a communications platform demonstrated tremendous vision and boldness in executing on the idea that there was a demand for improved financial information disemination and speed. Providing and pushing the frontier for real time news and price updates has been a great business model. The places they went and progress they made in different arenas based on this one idea is just great.
Bloomberg has many strong views on management and shares his corporate philosophy of 'us' versus 'them,' of paying in equity from a common pool, of never rehiring someone who's left. From his perspective, it is clear Bloomberg is continuously innovative, an interesting contrast with some current outsider perspectives that in some ways the Bloomberg terminal interface exemplifies an antiquated technology persisting as a legacy system. Keeping in mind that he wrote this book ages ago, pre-governorship and at the time claiming to have no political ambitions, I wonder if companies all inevitably age as their founders age, if companies that produce products that were revolutionary at the time inevitably stop innovating at such a high level.
His background in sales shines through and seems to have had a large contribution to his success. His belief that his company is the best and his ability to sell that belief to others makes me to realize you can't overemphasize the importance of sales when it comes to business.
