This is Peter Taradash, and since you asked to see my face & hear my voice, I have made quite a few YouTube Videos. These days I am 100% retired and not taking on any new clients unless they interest me. Here is an update on my life:
Secrets of Peter Taradash, 23 Aug 2024
Since you asked . . . I used to keep my personal life personal, but now that I am nearly 90, and retired for a long time, here are some of my biographical secrets. I have had 5 wives & an equal number of kids plus grandchildren & great grand-children. Some of the ex-wives & kids like me, some don't. The ones who like me come & stay with me sometimes. Those who don't like me don't know what bennies they are missing.
My last most treasured & brilliant Asian wife has lasted 3 decades ... She runs my personal life & makes us Kimchee & Adobo, among other things.
I am too old to live out of suitcases and drive cars all over the place, so I spend about half a year in the Riviera, & Switzerland. When it's winter in the EU, we cruise for half a year to my favorite ports in SE Asia: Singapore & Manila ... I don't need to carry any luggage when going between places because each of my 3 HQs has everything needed. To keep busy, I make blog videos on YouTube. Some people find them amusing, My favorite is the one where I had a sword fight with famous prawn star John Holmes.

I was "almost" a fully clothed P**N star (50 years ago). No academy award for my performance. Other vids show me telling you dear reader, how to make delicious French Toast, among other things. Another one is about how I was almost a Mafia Big Cheese in the Godfather Movie...
Also recently spent 3 years stuck in (but loving) Buenos Aires during the COVID period. Living costs 1/8th of Europe or the USA. Safe & Civilized.
I like the Offshore Corp Talk site and am happy that some of you enjoy and find useful the info I impart. My life as a PT has been quite eventful as you will see from the videos.

Thanks for your very nice compliments, Mario I T, I think maybe a year ago, offshorecorptalk.com posted the topic "Who is Peter Taradash"
Mario: I don't know you, sadly, but this world is small. Recently a friend of yours told me your story.: Your very early life: Your battles/fights, immense financial success before you were 30. I read about your r
evolt vs "the system," , when you were much younger... You were doing offshore stuff when there was no internet, not even smartphones. Must've been such a different world. I am much younger than you, so I wasn't born yet & had no chance to access your knowledge at the time. But I recently I skimmed through your early 70s works like :"Think Like A Tycoon," get rich in Real Estate book. I can confirm you were sharing valuable knowledge, still useful these days . It's aligned to what I had to learn on my own. People believe old books don't apply anymore... the truth is that the gist is most of the same distress sales, & opportunities are always there. Today your knowledge about business and life in general is within everyone's reach. Even for free. I see it in your blogs on You Tube. Sadly, or luckily for me, only a few really follow your advice and do the work. Many daydream. Other are lazy to do that first step. And most are lost in 9-5 jobs living miserable lives and complaining about everything. I am happy, for you after learning your life was not a piece of cake... Happy to see from your videos that you are so calm and enjoying life in decent places with a (mostly) appreciative family.
Your heirs should realize what kind of man they have at their disposal. If I had a man like you in my family with all that knowledge, when I was a teenager... I could've easily done 20x, even 100x of what I did, -- without all the troubles I had to wrestle... and with no sweat.
When you have to start from scratch, in a bad environment, that you don't want (or know how) to leave it's hard...
In the end, as you know, the world steps aside for the man with a plan & ambition who knows where he is going. Looking at your videos, you seem fine & healthy. I would've said you were in the early 70s
Answer From Grandpa Aug 2024
My life history is related to the offshorecorptalk.com/ message: Why? I went "offshore" before that word was coined. My concept; Leaving your home country for greener pastures abroad and getting a 2nd passport was quite foreign --especially to Americans who were (in the old days) very comfy at "home" in the 1960s. Most gringoes thought the world ended at the USA border. That was when I relocated to Europe and became an honorary diplomat & dual citizen for the 1st time. My first pamphlet was on how to get a 2nd passport. In those days you could acquire or buy one in pre-EU days for around $20,000 or get a very good, 1st class PP in Belgium or even Switzerland for free with a short residence or "Marriage Blanche." Times have changed, but the old PT concepts remain valid.

How Long Do You Want to Live? When I was younger, maybe in my 30s I thought the same as you, dear reader. Wanted to be gone by 65. But as I hit 65, my attitude did a 180 degree turn! I was still very healthy: Lifting weights, having great sex, and fortunately without any financial worries. Why? because my books like Bye Bye Big Brother, the Monaco Report, and P.T. were all selling very well ... I was in demand as a highly paid consultant & guest lecturer. Now, Retirement is more fun than working. {Saw all the problems Trump was having so decided not to run for president. Only kidding. But seriously, Politics is a lousy, stressful activity almost always ending in defeat.}
Back to the story... In my 60s, 30 yrs ago ...My investments & all the minor celebrity stuff was bringing in an upper 1% income.. No lawsuits against me or other stressful problems. I was traveling the world with my honey on cruises. In short I was enjoying life more than ever before. No pressure. No stress ... No health problems.
Now 20 years later, at 86, my health problems have been small outside of the scare (at age 75, described in my blog) with my knee not working. Now it's OK. No wheel chair for me.
As long as I'm sane & not in pain, I feel "lucky to be alive." If I can stay the same, enjoying a quality existence on this Earth to age 125, or more, that's fine with me. I'm in no hurry to get to heaven (or where-ever we go). In fact, I just wrote a short book on that topic called "Eternal Life?"... I concluded that being alive was a better option than being dead. If life is not enjoyable, I researched and wrote another (as yet unpublished) book on how to do an economical & painless suicide. You can get a copy from me (free) if you want to prepare for the end.
What happened to him does anyone know? I never even heard his voice either ...
86 Y.O
