Love him or hate him, after reading this lengthy article I am left thinking all that is missing is a combover and a patch kit for his leaky boat. Decent read.

Welcome to another episode from The Kevin OÕLeary ShowÑproof, perhaps, that Canada, too, has finally arrived. We now have our own celebrity businessman, our own Trump, our Branson: someone who is famous for being famous, who makes money just by being.

The story so far: OÕLeary makes his name selling his software company to Mattel Inc. for billions. ThatÕs the backstory that he leverages into careers as a venture capitalist, board member, broadcaster, author, speaker andÑcritically for the story arcÑfund-company executive. Coming up nextÑsorry if this is a spoilerÑis OÕLeary Fine Wines.

The twist is that, right now, OÕLearyÕs performance is getting a critical drubbing. People in the investment community are turning on him over the performance and management style of his fundsÑa business, it turns out, that is less forgiving than reality TV.
