Hess: The Last Oil Baron (Bloomberg)

Why is Leon Hess given the title of the last oil baron? Hess: The Last Oil Baron profiles a brilliant yet very private man who created a multibillion-dollar, multinational, vertically integrated energy behemoth. Hess Corp. could do everything from finding oil in far-flung fields off the coast of Indonesia to selling you a tank of gas and a pack of gum at the local station on the corner. Leon Hess was an immigrant kosher butcher's son from Asbury Park, New Jersey, who built an oil dynasty that may never be equaled. His journey began with a single second-hand delivery truck and the uncanny business sense of one young man. Hess: The Last Oil Baron is filled with interviews with former employees, beneficiaries, and even the manager of the football team he owned to offer a rare perspective on the man behind the legacy.
