Lying on the hospital bed, wife and mistress hovering over him, Rocky didn’t know what to do. So he closed his eyes and faked a blackout. Then he started to think things over. Sure, he was rich, but lately things had gotten out of control. He wasn’t just a high-flying businessman, he had become “like Hugh Hefner.” He’d even founded a porn magazine, Genesis (which had its own Benihana-style gimmick: two centerfolds for the price of one!), and opened a four-story midtown disco called Club Genesis, which became his own private playpen. Night after night, Rocky stayed up till dawn, snorting cocaine, picking up girls, and betting $100 per point on backgammon. For years, he’d been hiding his mistress, Pamela, from his wife, Chizuru, while hiding his other girlfriends (including a Miss Iceland) from both of them. Before his accident, Rocky boasts, he had “three kids from three different women at exactly the same time”—though he only found out about the third via a paternity suit.

For those of you who might not know who Rocky Aoki is, he is the founder of the Benihana restaurant chain, and the father of DJ Steve Aoki.
