When Don King got out of jail in 1971, the 39-year-old hood had fatally shot a man for trying to rob one of his gambling houses (it was ruled self-defense and a justifiable homicide) and stomped another to death over a $600 debt, for which he was convicted of manslaughter and served close to four years. By 1974 he was promoting Foreman and Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle,” and in 1975 he hyped the “Thrilla in Manila,” Ali-Frazier III. He has dominated boxing since and earned frightening sums in the process. Only Don knows his exact worth, but in 2006 Forbes estimated his net at about $350 million. Note to self: Go on kill-crazy rampage and get weird hairdo, stat!
