About Paul Fireman
Paul Fireman bought the US distribution rights for a British company in 1979, turned it into Reebok and rode the sneakers & aerobics craze in the 80s.
Nike pulled ahead in the early 1990s, and shareholders demanded that Fireman step down in 1996, which he eventually did.
Fireman returned in 1999 and revived the business before selling it to Adidas for $3.8 billion in 2005, a deal that earned him $600 million.
Fireman owns Liberty National Golf Course, a $250 million country club built on a New Jersey landfill overlooking the Statue of Liberty.
