Id say the most successful was old Cap'n Morgan. Successful pirate one day, governor of Jamaica the next. 5 Minutes later and hes got his own brand of grog!

thats proper history shipmatey...... good old Cap'n Morgan was a proper full on licensed pirate.....then he does a deal, after arranging for the previous person to leave the post, for the governorship of Jamaica back when that meant big bucks. Persuades a few mates to pack it in as well.
Applies piratical thinking to business and makes a mint.
Starts a grog business (ie applies British thinking to Sugar cane = Rum or molasses equation...yanks made molasses, we made booze).......and 200 or so years later his big grinning gurner is in all the bars y go in....and he has accompanied my drunkerdness a fair few times Davey Jones blessim.
Gaaaaarrrrrrrrrr..........
Eres to Cap'n Morgan!
Yaaaaarrrrrrr
