In Adventure Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed "the Indiana Jones of finance" by Time magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile.
Rogers and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their "Millennium Adventure" on January 1, 1999, from Iceland.
