There is a belief some hold about Bill Foley that might surprise you, that he is the business world’s equal to Brett Favre scrambling from pressure, a billionaire gunslinger who writes checks before analyzing the purchase, who chucks his financial support into countless ventures before fastidiously surveying the entire field.
Who might see the double-coverage that would cause others to check down but really doesn’t give a damn.
Foley prefers another portrayal of his acumen: that he is instead a value buyer who takes calculated risks, who has grown his many companies by obtaining them at their lowest points and then building them into great success stories over time.
