This is the story of one man's empire, built with determination, brawn and imagination. Young Australian-born Micky Kailis from Perth's Greek community against all odds set up a lobster-processing operation in 1961, with proceeds from the sale of his wife's car. In a little over ten years he was known as Western Australia's 'Prawn King' and had established a thriving ship-building business. Export, export. Then came pearls and tuna, more harvests from the sea. Philanthropist, rugby enthusiast, friend of politicians, generous employer, Michael Kailis is what once would have been called a 'character' and his grandfather, a ship-owner merchant from the tiny Greek island of Castellorizo, would have been proud of him.
