Money cravings
Rich was born in 1934 to a Jewish family, and because of the war, the family had to flee to the United States to earn a living allowance by running a jewelry business.
Since he was a child, Richie met different business partners with his father, and was very interested in money at an early age, so he even changed his name to Mark Rich (Money), because he did business with people from different countries, and under the influence of his ears, Richie learned five languages, and at the age of 16, he followed his family to New York and entered New York University.
Probably because he felt that studying was not as good as making money, Ritchie soon dropped out of school, and then he worked in the Philip brothers' company, his first job was to do a mercury business, coinciding with the war at that time, Ritchie saw the business opportunity, hurriedly contacted the distribution company, so that Philip company bought low price and sold high price, making a hard profit.
Because of the success of his first job, Ritchie soon realized that he had inherited his father's business mind, and it was at this time that he gradually began to have the idea of earning more "war money".
Create your own home
Richie, who works in Philip, because of his desire for money, traveled back and forth around the world in a few years, accumulated a lot of wealth, and in 1967 invented spot crude oil trade to obtain greater profits, but unexpectedly, because of the company's internal decisions, Richie did not get the profit he wanted, and it was at this time that he began to want to create his own portal and build his own business empire.
In 1973, Ritchie and his friends set up their own company and set up their headquarters in Switzerland, because of more than ten years of work experience, Ritchie quickly expanded the company, and poached the former customers in Philips, severely hitting the former owner.
In the days that followed, in order to make money, Richie gradually went further and further and began to make money by any means, during the Cold War, he spent money to dredge relations, quietly resold oil from the Soviet Union to South Africa at low cost, and then made a lot of money in a wave of dark crossings when the United States and other countries were banned.
In 2000, in order to get more crude oil, he gave a large amount of kickbacks to other countries, and as a result, other countries used the money to buy weapons and fight back to his United States, bribery, tax evasion, and transactions with enemy countries, and Richie really did everything that should be done and should not be done.
As a result, he was listed by the Ministry of Justice on multiple counts and sentenced to 325 years in prison, but Richie will not sit still, after all, he also knows that it is not fun to make money without spending.
Fugitive life
Knowing that someone was coming to arrest him, Richie quickly fled to his company's headquarters in Switzerland, and in the process of escaping, he bluntly said that he was not breaking the law, just making money, and ran justifiably.
In the days that followed, he was not idle when he lived abroad, first holding various high-class parties to show off his wealth, and then buying masterpieces to cultivate his temperament.
Not only that, but he also paid a large amount of taxes to the government that sheltered him through his assets, so that they could help him prove his innocence, which made the United States hate him more and more.
Of course, Ritchie is not a madman who only knows how to make money, because of his Jewish identity, he has donated a lot of money to Israel over the years, showing that he is righteous as a Jew, and Israel has not forgotten his goodness and has sent state officials to lobby the United States.
At the same time, because the United States is not so united internally, on the one hand, to capture Richie, on the other hand, to earn gold with Richie's financial assistance, through Richie's company, the Department of Agriculture sells grain abroad, making hundreds of millions of profits, and many government personnel also received bribes from Richie, and before the US president left office in 2001, he issued an amnesty to regain his "innocence".
After regaining his freedom, Richie also began his own leisurely life, first transferring and selling his shares, then handing over the company to his assistant to take over, completely living a retirement life, either traveling and gathering everywhere every day, or spending money to buy and buy, and donating billions of dollars to Israel by the way to prove that he was charitable enough.
In June 2013, this controversial businessman ended his magnificent life, although he was sitting on tens of billions of assets, but he could not even see the last face of his relatives during the wanted process, he is a profiteer in American society and a great Israeli philanthropist, and it is difficult to summarize his evaluation.
