Chris McGale

In Detail

The Million Dollar Irishman was the name given to Chris in 1988 by the head of a multi-trauma team of surgeons that operated on him for five hours at a Belfast hospital, putting him back together again. At twenty-five, a high-speed, head-on collision with an articulated lorry had devastated Chris physically and mentally. In a one-in-a-million near-death experience, his life was saved twice that day. In another one-in-a-million chance his pay ascended from £1 a week as a bookie’s runner at my family’s Irish pub, Kate’s Bar, Omagh, Co. Tyrone, to $1m a year at the American investment bank, Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. In what he would later call his George Best moment, he went on sabbatical from Merrill in May 2002 and never went back..

What he offers you

Chris McGale provides a fascinating insight into the life of a man growing up quickly in a small Northern Ireland town during the troubles and moving to London working for a prominent Wall Street firm. Thrown into this, there are battles with gambling, a life-changing accident and the worst single atrocity in the history of the troubles in NI. Life is certainly not straight forward in this insight into a Million Dollar Investor.
