The life of a software geek's not always as dull as you think
So what do you do after you've sold off your software company, you're still in your 40's and wealthy and adventurous? Here's what's going on in John McAffee's life these days, 16 years after selling the company named after him. For starters, he has a 17-year-old girlfriend. Not bad for a gazillionaire geezer geek.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I wonder what first attracted her to the gazillionaire ?

Why would he chose to live in Belize in the first place? Sure, it might be less corrupt politically than, say, the United States, but there are plenty of better down-trodden, third-world countries to live in. Take Greece for example.

He is 66 actually (but retired in his 40's).
I'm still wondering what high crime his dog committed...
