Khashoggi has been on my radar since I was a teenager-because he
was always in the photos at the best parties- this 5 foot 4, bald
Saudi businessman surrounded by the rich, the famous and of
course beautiful women. Back then he was described as being one
the richest men in the world — he was certainly the biggest
spender. He threw the biggest parties, owned 3 jets and built the
world’s most expensive yacht.

But behind the glamour was something darker. He brokered
billion-dollar arms deals, sent escorts to charm world leaders,
and helped dictators stash their stolen fortunes and as a result,
he got caught up in some of the biggest scandals of the 80’s.

Khashoggi was a networker, a fixer, a man who lived on the thin
line between business and crime. Presidents, kings, and CEOs all
needed him, and that was his ultimate protection.

It’s a fascinating story- enjoy
