Michael Gross is known for writing juicy tell-all books about New York City's most expensive, exclusive, and reclusive co-operative apartment houses. With the dour limestone-faced Rosario Candela-designed building and its cavernous apartments as the back drop, Mister Gross carefully parsed the personal, professional and social lives of many of the building's wildly wealthy residents who have over the years included any number of low-profile but sick-rich industrialists and robber barons, a cavalcade of heirs and heiresses, and a bunch of hedge hogs and tech tycoons.
One of the great books author Gross came out with was Rogues' Gallery, a book about the history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Gross leaves nothing out when it comes to revealing details of filthy rich folks with money and power.
Author Gross' latest and soon to be published book Unreal Estate tells the untold and sometimes confusing stories about how movie stars, oilmen, and ruthless entrepreneurs transformed sunny Southern California into a glittering secretive enclave of make believe and mega-mansions.
