Via Doug

 Erik Prince - Blackwater

Pretend for a moment that you are one of the very lucky people on this planet who was born into extreme wealth. Not just millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions… Imagine that you've been given billions of dollars in cash just for being born. How would you spend that money?

How would your spend the rest of your life? Most people would probably spend the rest of their life vacationing in exotic locations, flying from mansion to mansion on private jets without a care in the world! You know what most people wouldn't do? Use their unlimited time, connections and wealth to build the largest, deadliest and most powerful private army on the planet. Sounds like the plot line from a Hollywood movie right? Sometimes true stories are better than a movie, and this is the story of Erik Prince and his company Blackwater.
