Episode Description

A big-talking showman and his charismatic wife: Who are Kenyon and Charlotte Clarke?

 

Maria Slade talks to a Du Val investor and friend who gave Kenyon his start in real estate and describes him as exceptional.

 

We hear how Kenyon rose phoenix-like from his first business collapse, and as the New Zealand housing market boomed yet again, vowed to create a billion-dollar empire.

 

The Clarkes were prolific self-promoters, even making a reality tv series about themselves.

 

But was it a veneer?
