You should read this short but fascinating interview with Sydney Frank, the guy who brought Jagermeister to the US, invented the Jägerettes (basically, shot girls), and started Grey Goose Vodka, which he recently sold to Bacardi for over $2 billion. Now, at 85, he owns a Bentley, and 2 big Maybachs, and donated $100 million to Brown University. Cool guy.
Unbelievable story. This is the sort of story which really leaves me awestruck over the ability of some individuals to take a look at the marketplace and visualize a demand before the buying public even knows they have a need. Great article.
My brother works for this guy as one of his private paramedic/assistants. He really as interesting and generous in person as this article portrays. He takes care of my brother and the rest of his personal staff VERY well and as such they work very hard for him. By the way, this article didnt really get into it…but he really does have a personal staff of about 10…including chefs and golf instructors!

I am involved in a new venture and have been trying to get information to Mr. Frank to let him know of an opportunity I know he would be very excited about and take advantage of. The National Golf League (NGL) is a new venture to create a team based professional golf league similar to other professional sports. After establishing the league in CA in 2005, we are now expanding across the country and are now offering expansion teams for sale. If Mr. Frank enjoys watching his golfers play, he will love watching them compete as a team against other great players. If you or anyone else can provide him this information I believe he would be grateful to know of this opportunity. He or anyone else interested in buying an NGL golf team can go to http://www.nationalgolfleague.com but I suggest acting quickly before they all sell.
