21. Porfirio Rubirosa
If you thought that today’s jet setters know what they’re doing, you should have seen Porfirio Rubirosa, a Dominican diplomat and quite probably the ultimate playboy. He was considered to be the most interesting man in the world and one of the greatest lovers of all time.
He was involved with the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Kim Novak, Judy Garland, Rita Hayworth and Eva Peron, just to name a few. He was married five times, often getting islands and plane fleets in the divorces.
He died the way he lived, returning home from a wild night of partying in Paris. He was driving a silver Ferrari 250 GT (what else) and crashed it into a chestnut tree in 1965. One thing is for sure – he definitely did not waste his life.
