Shadow Billionaire
Dir(s): Alexis Manya Spraic
Program: Lets Make Money
Run Time: 86 | USA | Language: English
Billionaire Larry Hillblom, founder of the worldwide courier company DHL, disappears following a 1995 plane crash off the coast of his secluded Micronesian home. Leaving a massive fortune bound by a curiously general will, would-be heirs start coming out of the woodwork. What emerges from the ensuing legal battle over his estate, however, leaves all who knew the enigmatic tycoon in shock. Hillblom enjoyed both the liberal lifestyle and tax laws of the US territory island of Saipan. But just how far did his interest in young island bar girls extend? For an experienced lawyer and shrewd businessman, why is his will so loosely worded? Why are his "trusted" estate trustees so reluctant to settle the paternity claims? One by one, Shadow Billionaire reveals the thrilling twists in a staggering case of greed and scandal that exposes one man's secrets and an island's startling truths. Myrocia Watamaniuk.
