Vargas, who at 19 became the youngest Powerball winner ever, has put part of his $17 million payout toward the development of "Wrestlicious," which features professional wrestling, sketch comedy and lots of scantily clad babes.
When Vargas won the lottery two years ago, he pledged to spend his money wisely. "I didn't have the temptation to go out and buy 15 cars or 50 houses, or a big mansion with 50-plus rooms," Vargas said. "I just want to be comfortable."
So this young entrepreneur packed up and moved from South Carolina to Tampa, Fla., the home of many professional wrestlers, to make his bikini-wrestling TV show dreams come true. In this age of corporate greed, it's refreshing to see a rich guy who wants to give back.
A pilot episode hosted by Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart has been shot and producers are currently looking for a network to pick up the program.
