At the height of his triumphs, Messier transformed a french utility company into a media empire that could compete in Europe and America. To many he was a hero of the New Economy. To others he was a rash dreamer who became addicted to deal making. In ten years he spent $100bn to build a company that combined music, publishing, telecom, cinema, theme parks, water supply, videogames, commuter trains, and the internet.
But in 2002, Vivendi's debt grew and Messier was finally ousted in a boardroom coup that was even sanctionedby the French President. Since then Messier has became the centre of speculation and scandal including unethical dealing and bad practise. This portrait of one of today's most brilliant and flawed businessmen is a real life morality tale of our times.
