Brooklyn bad boy Martin Shkreli has never been far from controversy and that’s just the way he likes it, normally.
The 32-year-old became a Wall Street gambler at 17, received his first lawsuit at 24, was worth an estimated $100m shortly after turning 30 – and at this year achieved the title of “the most hated man in America”.
