He is a politician, entrepreneur, real estate and insurance tycoon, bank and media proprietor and a sports team owner. He is the proprietor of three analogue television channels, various digital television channels, as well as some of the larger-circulation national news magazines. Together these account for nearly half the country's market. He also wrote the anthem for the sports team that he owns. He has a very successful business career though funding sources have always been a bit fishy. Of course he had his share of legal problems. He said of his legal problems, "I'm the universal record-holder for the number of trials in the entire history of man -- and also of other creatures who live on other planets."
On his entering politics he said,
"----- is the country I love. Here I have my roots, my hopes, my horizons. Here I have learned, from my father and from life, how to be an entrepreneur. Here I have also acquired the passion for liberty.
I have chosen to enter the field and become a public servant because I do not want to live in an illiberal country, ruled by immature forces and by people who are well and truly bound to a past that proved both a political and economic failure."
