Vanity Fair special correspondent Bryan Burrough narrates the story of the Texas oil industry’s four richest fortune holders in his new book, The Big Rich. Known in their day as the Big Four, Roy Cullen, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson created a new American legend: the swaggering Texas oilman, owning extravagant luxuries such as private islands and a football team or two. Author of the acclaimed Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco and Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-1934 (soon to be released as a film starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger), Burrough is a three-time winner of the John Hancock Award for excellence in financial journalism.
