The 15 Most Outrageous Drug Lords

It takes a certain kind of personality to be a true drug lord. Surely, it’s all about the money and the rivers of cash that flow into the pockets of major drug kingpins every single day. Yet, it’s also about having a certain kind of outsized personality, one that combines a hyper-entrepreneurial spirit with a dictatorial edge. It’s about power, money, control, and living outside the edges of straight society. A drug lord has to be able to manage hundreds of henchmen and minions, control inventory everyone wants to steal, and a cash flow that has no paper trail, along with fighting off rival entrepreneurs that may emerge from any angle, to the death if necessary. In other words, it’s not so easy to be a drug lord.

15 Outrageous Things That Could Only Happen In Dubai

Dubai is a paradise of man-made wonders in the desert filled with glittering ultra-modern architecture, luxury shopping, and a nightlife scene that legends are made of. From the shimmering skyscrapers that create its unique skyline to the Dubai Fountain, whose sparkling water show is choreographed to music, everything seems designed to blow the mind and dazzle the senses. Citizens are outnumbered by foreigners in this cosmopolitan oasis by six to one. Throughout the globe, Dubai is known as a one of a kind destination for travelers, along with the cultural and financial center of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It’s located on the coast of the Arabian Peninsula and was first settled around 1833 by the Bani Yas tribe, led by the Al Maktoum Family who still rule the city today. Dubai’s growth spurt is relatively recent, however, which is why everything in the sparkling city seems so shiny and new.

15 Biggest Mistakes You Missed In The Star Wars Trilogy

Since its launch in 1977, the Star Wars movies have gone on to become one of the most popular and lucrative film franchises in history. While the movies have grossed over $30 billion, they’ve also been undeniably expensive and challenging to produce, particularly the original three films made in the 1970s and early 1980s, which are now dubbed Episodes IV to VI. In contrast with the prequel, Star Wars Episodes I to III, and the next-gen, Episode VII, the original Trilogy represents filmmaking of a different era, a time when CGI was in its infancy and the special effects techniques were not nearly as advanced as they are today. It meant the difference between the victory by Ewok of Return of the Jedi vs. the CGI-heavy epic battle and fallout of the same between Anakin/Darth Vader and Obi-Wan on the volcanic planet, Mustafar, of Episode III.

The 15 Biggest Douchebags In The Music Industry

Musicians are showered with money, fame, media attention, and fawning fans, and often at a relatively early age. The big surprise may not be why there seem to be so many douchebags in the music business, but why there aren’t much more. Add the virtually unlimited access to booze and mind-altering substances that kind of money can buy, and it’s a recipe for unsociable behavior from temper tantrums to abusing the help to serious criminal charges. The money and the spotlight can make the elements that would normally result in minor character flaws escalate into full blown dysfunctional behavior. That annoying sense of entitlement becomes a nightmare of diva-like demands. The common office bore becomes a figure with a world stage on which to spew their ill-conceived views and opinions. There’s no one around and no reason apparent to put on the brakes when rich, spoiled pop stars get used to having it all their way.
