Synopsis "How to Make a Few Billion Dollars"

Do you have a burning passion to make a lot of money in business? Are you ready to turbocharge your chances of professional and personal success?

During his more than four decades as a CEO and serial entrepreneur, Brad Jacobs has created eight flagship companies across different industries, delivering tens of billions of dollars of value to shareholders. In How to Make a Few Billion Dollars, Jacobs defines the mindset that drives his remarkable success in corporate America—and distills a lifetime of business brilliance into a tactical road map.

From provocative recommendations for “rearranging your brain”—an essential prerequisite to accomplishing enormous goals—to practical advice for dealing with colleagues, Jacobs will have you rethinking what it means to win big. He explains why it’s critical to spot key trends and capitalize on them, including the biggest trend of all—the rapid evolution of technology relative to human development. And, he shares his techniques for:

• turning a healthy fear of failure to your advantage,

• achieving lots of high-quality M&A without imploding,

• building an outrageously talented team,

• catalyzing electric meetings, and

• transforming a company into a superorganism that kills the competition.

How to Make a Few Billion Dollars is an inside look at how this entrepreneurial titan leads with humility, compassion, and accountability, while running hard toward the American Dream. If your personal dream is to create wealth through free markets or to triumph in sports, the arts, politics, philanthropy, or any other part of your life, this book will help you make that a reality.

For over four decades as CEO and serial entrepreneur, Brad Jacobs has created flagship companies across multiple industries, generating tens of billions of dollars in shareholder value

To date, Jacobs has founded eight billion-dollar companies, completed about 500 mergers and acquisitions transactions, and raised approximately 40 billion dollars in debt and equity capital, including three IPOs. He started his career at 23 when he founded Amerex Oil Associates, followed by Hamilton Resources, both private companies. Later, he created five publicly traded companies: United Waste Systems, United Rentals, XPO, and the two XPO spin-offs, GXO Logistics and RXO. In June 2024, Jacobs founded QXO, Inc. to consolidate the 800 billion-dollar construction product distribution industry

Jacobs has proven to have a Midas touch in creating value. He made XPO one of the top ten global logistics providers and the seventh best-performing stock of the last decade on the Fortune 500 list. XPO shares became a "32-bagger" (early investors in 2011 earned more than 32 times their money). United Rentals was the sixth best-performing stock on the Fortune 500 list during the same period and is now more than a "200-bagger". United Waste shares outperformed the S&P 500 by 5.6 times in five years, from when Jacobs took the company public until he sold it for 2.5 billion dollars

Jacobs is chairman of the board of XPO, GXO, and RXO, and chairman and CEO of QXO, Inc.
