| Description | Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene advertises himself as the rags-to-riches Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate who knows what it’s like to be the little guy and who’s willing to spend what it takes to help his party win control of Tallahassee.
But beyond his flood of mailers and $25 million TV ad campaign that have rocketed him to third place in the polls, another picture emerges of the businessman as told in lawsuits, liens and press accounts from former employees, contractors and others who did business with the developer.
Liked by some and loathed by others, the 63-year-old Greene is invariably described as a headstrong micro-manager, a self-assured self-made man who doesn’t hesitate to use the courts and his $3.3 billion net worth to get his way. |
