If you’ve used a computer in the last 40 years, chances are an annoying little pop-up has invaded your screen relentlessly. It was by McAfee, the most well-known and annoying anti-virus programme available on the market. Today, about 500 million customers rely on it to protect their computers from malicious software, and it made close to $3 billion in revenue in 2020 alone. Now, I bet you’re thinking the inventor of this essential tech was probably a typical I.T. nerd who now lives a quiet, private life with his many millions of dollars… but that couldn’t be further from the truth. John McAfee was a pioneer, inventor, and all-around coding genius. However, he led a life that was so unbelievable and bizarre, his recent obituary read more like an action movie plot than the life of a techie! From starting as an underdog, to making hundreds of millions of dollars, to becoming an addict, a fugitive, sucking a model’s toes for the camera, and running for president while running from the cops! And that’s not even half of it. Let's take a ride through the wild life of John McAfee.
