Fire and Debt

Ninety years. One hundred and fifty countries. $3.7 billion in debt. One catastrophic collapse.

Revlon didn't just sell lipstick — it sold the American woman an identity. From a $300 investment during the Great Depression to the most recognized cosmetics brand on earth, its rise was the stuff of legend. Its fall was something else entirely.

Fire and Debt is the explosive, character-driven story of how a ruthless founder, a billionaire corporate raider, a $900 million banking blunder, and the rise of social media beauty brands combined to bring down an empire that once seemed untouchable.

Part corporate thriller. Part cultural autopsy. Part cautionary tale for every industry facing disruption.
