Finn Claw Posted 22 June 2007 Posted 22 June 2007 Hello, Not sure if this has been mentioned before but does anyone know how MM made his millions? I was reading an article in the independent today about unethical chairmen - i.e. Abramovic, and Thaksin who wants Man City. Thaksin sounds very dodgy to me when amnesty international think your a bit of a shit you're probably not the nicest bloke in the world... The article really did strike a chord and I realised I had no idea how MM made all his millions.

He is Serbian! he is a millionaire! only one way he could of done that (just like a certain Russian man did it, not thinking of anyone inparticular )

Manwell Pablo Posted 22 June 2007 Posted 22 June 2007 In short. He Took on his fathers Machine Business and turned it into one of the bigges manafacturers in Serbia/Yugoslavia. Left because of the commies He set up Lika Corp in the USA which he sold to Tandy which is now Tandy computers. As well as starting a Telecom developers company called Sanmina. It was in the Merc awhile back.
Phlashman Posted 22 June 2007 Posted 22 June 2007 He made a shed load in computer hardware in the US in the 80's. Don't worry he did use sweatshops full of kids, or rob grannies. Apparantly he's actually a nice guy.

He's made a load of money a couple of times, first of all in Serbia and then in Silicon Valley California mostly on the back of the electronics boom making circuit boards.
Finn Claw Posted 22 June 2007 Author Posted 22 June 2007 Thanks for this, it seems like he has made his money reasonably fairly, I'm a happy city fan again, yippie
MBK Posted 23 June 2007 Posted 23 June 2007 Thanks for this, it seems like he has made his money reasonably fairly, I'm a happy city fan again, yippie In addition to 64 million minus his personal investments from Portsmouth.
Pete_foxes Posted 24 June 2007 Posted 24 June 2007 I heard he had a succesful pop career, with his own remdition of "Smack my Bitch Up" by the Prodigy
Micky Ruddle Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 He took over from his dad or something. Like a oil company i think
act smiley Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 Nah, it was an engineering firm, which he then sold and did a runner to the USA, where he made electronics and started his football team habit. I think the only dubious thing I remember hearing is someone tried to sue his company in the 80s for dumping chemicals or something?
potter3 Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 Nah, it was an engineering firm, which he then sold and did a runner to the USA, where he made electronics and started his football team habit. I thiught he had to start again in America because the Serbain (or whatever) government didn't like how rich his company was?
act smiley Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 Yeah, I'd heard that but you hear different rumours of how much he managed to take with him, so I dunno.
The People's Hero Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 I heard it was something to do with ginger cake which was suitable for diabetics AND vegans. The details are sketchy - but that's the word on the street.
Flynny Posted 25 June 2007 Posted 25 June 2007 I heard he bayonetted Ethiopian orphans and sold their carcasses onto the starving Sudanese as beef. The bastard.
