Now THIS M'FER is a guy you want to meet...

He's Eike Batista, a Brazilian entrepreneur, now 8th richest man in the world.
Back in 2000, he sold out his 20 years old gold business, a total of 8 mines around the world and pocketed U$ 1 billion.
Right after that he shoves US$ 800 million into oil areas auctioned by Brazilian government. Started the OGX company (oil and gas), LLX (logistics - building up a huge port in Brazil from gound zero), MMX (miner) and IPOed OGX and MMX on the brazilian stock market.
Today he's 8th richest man with total worth of U$ 27 billion... AND HE HAVEN'T SEEN A SINGLE DROP OF OIL YET...
Some says he sells dreams, other believe in him.
His goal: to become the world's richest man. Asked why he set himself this goal, he says "I'm competitive"
Whatch his interview to Charlie Rose (haven't seen that yet.. it's reserved for a class A Monday closure LOL)...
