Summary

This compelling memoir offers a candid look at the life of a billionaire entrepreneur, philanthropist, and public servant who has dedicated his fortune to fighting cancer and supporting charitable causes.

Huntsman recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his values of faith, family, and service. He provides an insider’s perspective on his tenure in the Nixon administration, his experiences with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the founding of the Huntsman Corporation, one of the largest petrochemical manufacturers in the world.

More than just a business success story, Barefoot to Billionaire delves into Huntsman’s commitment to giving away his entire fortune to charitable endeavors, including the billion-dollar funding of the Huntsman Cancer Institute. His reflections on integrity, respect, and the responsibility that comes with wealth offer timeless lessons for readers from all walks of life.

In an era of increasing materialism, Huntsman’s story is a refreshing reminder of the enduring power of traditional values and the impact one individual can make on the world.

From humble beginnings to the heights of business success, Jon M. Huntsman shares his extraordinary journey in Barefoot to Billionaire.
