Biography:
Gordon Gekko is a fictional character most famously portrayed by Michael Douglas in the 1987 film Wall Street, and later in the 2010 sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Gekko is the embodiment of greed and unethical behavior within the high-stakes world of corporate finance.
A ruthless and immensely wealthy corporate raider, Gekko is known for his mantra, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." He amasses his fortune through insider trading, manipulating stock prices, and dismantling companies for personal profit, often at the expense of employees and investors. His character serves as a cautionary tale against unchecked ambition and the corrupting influence of wealth.
In Wall Street, Gekko mentors a young stockbroker, Bud Fox, showing him the ropes of the morally ambiguous world he inhabits. Gekko's actions ultimately lead to his downfall and imprisonment. The sequel sees his release and attempts to re-enter the financial world, navigating the complexities of the 2008 financial crisis.
Gekko remains a cultural icon, representing the excessive and often unethical side of capitalism. Michael Douglas's portrayal earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor.
