KIM DOTCOM
When police this year raided the New Zealand mansion of German hacker and entrepreneur Kim Schmitz, aka Kim Dotcom, whose now defunct online data-storage business Megaupload is charged with costing U.S. copyright holders more than $500 million in revenue, they found the eccentric Internet pirate huddled in a safe room inside a compound described by Wired as a "Kiwi Tatooine, protected by laser beams, guards, guns, closed-circuit TVs, infrared early-warning detection, and even escape pods." Before his arrest, the 350-pound Dotcom -- known as "Dr. Evil" in computer security circles, was best known for YouTube videos in which he showed himself partying with models and porn stars on his yacht and racing his "nitrox-fueled" Mercedes.
