When he left school, Maximilian also started work on the
family farm. But he soon became bored. Country life wasn't

for him. And so at the age of 18 he left the village. He's only
been back three times since then. He went to Buenos Aires
and there he got a job on a ship that was sailing to the USA.
On the ship he met a rich American businessman. He liked
Maximilian and offered him a job. Maximilian learnt quickly
and in the next ten years he made a lot of money on Wall
Street. He became a millionaire when he was only 25. Since
then he has been part of the international jet set. He's had three
wives. When he was 30 he married a beautiful model, but she
died two years later in a car crash. His second and third
marriages both ended in divorce. For the last ten years he has
lived alone in his luxury villa in the Bahamas. His family life
has not been happy. Two years ago his son went to prison.
One of his two daughters has become a drug addict. He's been
on television several times and the newspapers have followed
his life closely. For the whole of his life he has loved to travel.
He's visited almost every country in the world. ' Yes, I've
made a lot of money. I've been everywhere and I've done
everything. But has it made me happy? Not really. Now look
at my brother, Emilio. For several years his life hasn't changed
at all. But he's happy. Yes, Emilio is a happy man.'
