Ira Rennert: Does the man do anything small?

First Ira Rennert, the billionaire industrialist, created the Hummer, which is now one of the largest civilian vehicles on the road today. Then he built Fairfield off of Daniel's Lane is Sagaponack, which, as we all know, is one of the biggest houses in the country, complete with 29 bedrooms, two bowling alleys, a 120-seat theater, parking for 200 and 39 bathrooms.

Now he has turned his attention to loftier matters—namely, the compilation of all of the 613 commandments in the Torah. These will not be compiled in one book, however—not Ira's style. Instead, they will be compiled in a 20 volume set. Each volume will cost about $30, so for about $1 per commandment and a bonus 13 commandments for free, redemption is yours.
