From Caan''s childhood as a Pakistani immigrant to the phenomenal success of his first company and beyond, The Real Deal traces both his financial and personal achievementsIt offers a frank account of what success at thirty really signifies and brings us right up to the present, including his impact on Dragons'' Den and what his charity work, from saving a hospital in London to building a school in Lahore, means to him. Ultimately, it is a story of learning what money is really worth, told by one the country''s most insightful businessmen.
